Make Github pages case insensitive?

Question

Is there a way to make github pages case insensitive?

Or in jekyll to ensure all url's are lowercase?

For example this url is valid:

http://www.example.net/Vegas-2014.html

but this 404s

http://www.example.net/vegas-2014.html

I don't like that from a usability perspective. (think text messaging urls, typing them in, etc.)

I know I can fix this with permalink, but I'm wondering if there is a way to do it through configuration of Jekyll or pages or some other technique.

Answer 1

Sorry but case-sensitiveness is a standard for URL that is respected in Unix/Linux world. Windows world in more case insensitive but it's another world ;-).

An Apache, Nginx or other open-source server is case-sensitive by default and can be configured to be case insensitive.

In the Jekyll/Github pages world, we must take care of our cases.

But maybe you can give try to Jekyll redirect from.
