Re: Barracuda: case-insensitive event names?

Hi Jeremy,

Why you little.... I mean....  heh :-)

It is just because if someone were to type the URL to some page, they 
really shouldn't have to care about the case-sensitivity of the event 
name.  If they know the name, they should be able to fire the event.

For instance....

http://www.myhost.com/myapp/MyBigLongEventName.event

Now, besides the fact that I created a very cumbersome event name, a user 
would have difficulty with this since they would have to remember to use 
Java coding standards for classes when typing the name of the 
event.  Besides, that, they could miss the SHIFT key and get most of the 
case right, but one letter in lower case when it should have been in upper 
and now they get an "event not found" message.  Why not be able to do 
something like...

http://www.myhost.com/myapp/mybiglongeventname.event

or

http://www.myhost.com/myapp/MyBigLongEventname.event

or

http://www.myhost.com/myapp/MyBiglongeventName.event

etc....

We all know what event they are trying to fire, don't we?  Why should we 
care that they typed it just so?  Does that make things more clear?  Now 
that it is clear, do you feel it is a valid point?  If it is a valid point, 
are there any gotcha's we might run into by allowing for this?
