I really feel like I should know this but I'm having issues. I made some changes to my routes file and have found that my custom routes are not case insensitive. In other words, 'hello(/:name)?' => array('welcome/hello', 'name' => 'hello'), will redirect to 404 if "/Hello/tony" is entered. Auto detected routes, however, are properly processed. So "/Welcome/HelLo" is correctly routed to Controller_Welcome action_hello.
Is there a way to do this in the regex of routes.php or some such, that it might behave in the default fuel controller routing manner (ignoring case).
in config.php there is a 'routing' => 'case_sensitive' => true/false property which I missed. ctrl + f in that file for "route" was coming up null. My bad.
It is bad practice to switch this off. In general, users don't type in URL's themselfs, and the links in your application should have the correct case.
Thanks for the note Harro. I'll consult with my boss - but I think it was a client requirement. Something to do with making external links more attractive? Another possibility I found was including code such as Router::add('hello(/:name)?', new Route('hello(/:name)?', 'welcome/hello', false));
But I couldn't figure out the best place to place it - and it looked like a really bad idea. If you have any suggestions of an alternative way I'm all ears, but I am fairly certain that it is a client requirement at this point in time :/.
