TIWServerController::URLBase
#4
Strictly speaking, I'm afraid that it should.

Please notice that Linux internet servers are - by default - case sensitive regarding to URLs (this exact forum won't respond to https://www.atozed.com/FORUMS/ but will respond to https://www.atozed.com/forums/), and this is what W3C has to say about it:

From: https://www.w3.org/TR/WD-html40-970708/htmlweb.html

I know that IW has been historically case insensitive regarding to URLs but don't expect the rest of the internet to behave like this (for example, any proxy server, load balancer or reverse proxy can mess with your application if you rely on this).


In your case, I don't think that a history link will contain the incorrect string case, unless the user types it incorrectly. If your UrlBase is "/UrlBase/" Even if you type https://yourdomain.com/URLBASE/ IntraWeb will set the address correctly in the fist response (i.e. it will become https://www.yourdomain.com/UrlBase/), and there is  no way the user can save a wrong URL from the actual page. Also, I find strange that any password manager will mess with the case of saved URLs knowing that by default most Internet servers out there are case sensitive...

Anyway, I'll make sure that it will redirect to the correct URLBase in any case.
