We have this working URL:
http://example.org/BAR/
We would like to make the path portion of the URL case insensitive, so
that the following:
http://example.org/bar/
http://example.org/Bar/
http://example.org/bAr/
Would all go back to the original URL. Using mod_rewrite, I tried applying
the following rule:
RewriteRule ^/bar/$ /BAR/ [R=301,L,nocase]
But that creates a redirect loop that the browser barfs on. The browser itself
says this:
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this
address in a way that will never complete.
* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept

And the logs show this:
111.222.333.444 - - [05/Mar/2007:11:39:55 -0500] "GET /bar/ HTTP/1.1" 301
352
111.222.333.444 - - [05/Mar/2007:11:39:55 -0500] "GET /BAR/ HTTP/1.1" 301
352
111.222.333.444 - - [05/Mar/2007:11:39:55 -0500] "GET /BAR/ HTTP/1.1" 301
352
111.222.333.444 - - [05/Mar/2007:11:39:55 -0500] "GET /BAR/ HTTP/1.1" 301
352
111.222.333.444 - - [05/Mar/2007:11:39:55 -0500] "GET /BAR/ HTTP/1.1" 301
352
...
I sort of see why the loop is happening, but it is my understanding that
the L flag would cause it to stop.
Any help on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Thomas
