The only reason it works in most cases is that you are using
case-insensitive file system. Try putting a file in /QOpenSys and it
would not work.

But t get that effect with my conventional web pages I don't do
anything special in the Apache config that I can recall - and they
work case-insensitive.

What causes the difference? Or have I just forgotten the effect of
an Apache directive that I just use without thinking?

Since the vast majority of IFS folders/files are case insensitive I
don't have to do anything to make it case insensitive - it just is
most of the time.

That's what I meant.

I know the standards say case-sensitive - but adherence to those
kinds of standards is not always a good idea. At least allow me to
specify otherwise.

Maybe I'm just feeling grumpy today - and I am surprised that google
has case-sensitive URIs. Just seems pointless.
