Case Sensitive URLs on Windows

    Date: 04/30/05 (Apache)    Keywords: apache

    I'm running an Apache server on Windows as a development server for a bunch of different sites. The issue I'm having is that because each project is in it's own directory, but the production server will but the root of the domain (normally) it will run on, this presents a problem with self generating URLs a script may write. For the most part scripts have the case for the root of the project as it was typed in, but I noticed that all current links to one project is not the case as what the script expects, and as a result, a logout function I added broke because of the fact the path for the cookie is different than the cookie I want to delete, and it make it appear as though the session is not logged out because the wrong cookie was overwritten (link to the logout script is created using a different case than the URL)

    My question is (to prevent blocks of code to overcome this in my scripts to run when on the development server) if there's a way to tell Apache to use case sensitive URLs on Windows (to emulate UNIX)

    Expected results:
    -http://server/Path - page
    -http://server/path - 404
