Well, this behaviour is taken into account, you can modify in the
properties of the server wherever it will do a case sensitive match or
not.

Well, there are strange things about zip, for example if no files are in a
directory, an optimization of the zip is to remove the directory, then you
should add an empty file or the directory itself (force it). That may
explain things. We will test that with the zip you are referring to.
