My question asked whether it was possible to ignore the case of filenames
(upper vs lower) when using a Netscape Server on a DecUnix system.
The full original question is below.
I received three responses - two saying it was not possible, and one
suggesting to use Apache instead which can supposedly deal with this.

ORIGINAL QUESTION:
This is not specifically a DecUnix question, but I'm hoping someone on the
list may be able to answer my question. I have a Netscape Web server running
on a DecUnix 3.2 system. Is it at all possible to have the web server operate
as case-insensitive with regard to given URLs? I know the underlying
operating system is case-sensitive, but can the web server software somehow
ignore this? I have people copying over html files from another operating
system and sometimes they'll have an HREF which specifies a filename in
uppercase when the actual file is in lowercase and the reference then fails.
I've looked through the web, looked through html books, and cannot find
anything addressing this particular issue.
