Hi all,
newbie question here...
Is there a simple solution to rewrite my urls with capital letters to all lowercase?
i.e.
www.url.com/Test.html
to
www.url.com/test.html
I'm building a directory and the url's are rewritten but keep the uppercase letters right now. I would like to change that to all lowercase.
can this be done with a mod rewrite rule? what should I add to my .htaccess file to make it work?
Thanks
DD

Why you want this to be done? For SEs? :!:
Aside from the SEs, my guess would be to accomidate for typos. Or ... because he used to use capital letters and now he wants to use all lowercase because it's easier to type in and such, and he doesn't want the old URLs to be broken.

Both http://www.asdf.com/ASD.php and http://www.asdf.com/asd.php is equal
So no borken URLs :mrgreen: •
