Upper case
Hi, I have some links in my database with uppercase subdomains like http://SubDomain.domain.com . The problem is LinksSQL is converting these links to all lowercase letters there by giving 404 errors. How do I make it stop doing this?

Links SQL probably isn't converting them, your browser probably is though.

Anyone who mixes the case in their URL's is silly i'm afraid.

If I enter WWW.YOUR.COM into my address bar, I end up at:

www.your.com

Where or not it's silly, I still would like to have their links work. Also, it is LinksSQL. If I go to the Verify Links section, and just put my mouseover the links (not click on it), I can see it's all lower case.

Yeah but as I just mentioned, the browser makes it lowercase Crazy

Browsers only make it lowercase if you type it in the address bar, they don't change it in a webpage. There is a difference. Crazy

Not for me. With IE6, the following HTML:

<a href="http://WWW.AOL.COM/">test</a>

..creates a mouseover status of:

http://www.aol.com/

...and when I click it I'm taken to the lowercase URL.

The fact that it's forcing lowercase with IE leads me to believe that the URL's shouldn't be mixed case in the first place.
