This is definitely not ideal. However, there's no general way to know
if a server is going to treat a URL as case-sensitive or case-insensitive.
That depends on the operating system on the server, the Webserver it's
running, and possibly even the type of filesystem in use on the server.
Given that URLs are supposed to be case-sensitive, I think this is the best
we can do.
