Hello All,

This question really transcends the users list, but is not really completely
development related, but please hear me out.

I am using tomcat on a windows server, and I am accessing it through ajp
from an IIS server.  Now, for reasons that I will go in to if desired, I
need to make my uri worker map case insensitive.  Previously, I was using
apache, entering my uris as lower case and using mod_rewrite to lowercase
incoming urls.  That is no longer an option and I am now stuck with IIS.

Here is the development part....  if I were to add configurable
functionality to the jk_isapi filter to lowercase urls before it sends them
to the jk_isapi extension... would this change be accepted in the main code
stream?  My other thought would be to make the match case insensitive on
windows platforms in jk_uri_worker_map.c file, but his is harder to make
configurable and I think it would be less desirable for the general user.
My final thought would be to create my own filter which lowercases the urls
before jk_isapi can get to them ... and this accomplishes the purpose but is
less desirable to me because it increases the number of deliverables for
relatively little reason.

So, which solution would be the most widely accepted by the tomcat developer
community?  Disclaimer: I have not looked at any of this in the 4.x stream,
so if the issue is solved in some elegant way there, please point me to it.


Many Thanks
