   I have a page in my WordPress 2 installation with a post slug of "goodfilms2002":

   http://pah2.golding.id.au/goodfilms2002/

   I have noticed page URIs are case-sensitive (even though post URIs are not) so that if someone links using mixed case, I get a 404 error:

   http://pah2.golding.id.au/goodFilms2002/

   However, if I use the query string instead of the rewritten URI, the page works:

   http://pah2.golding.id.au/index.php?pagename=goodFilms2002

   I have a mod_rewrite rule that changes the second example into the third example internally... but this fails to work - I still get a 404.

   Does anyone have any ideas about how to get nice page URIs that are case-insensitive? I can't even work out why the third example works.

   More info:

   I have a page with the slug "GrimmReality" and post ID = 279. The following do not work:

   http://pah2.golding.id.au/GrimmReality/
   http://pah2.golding.id.au/index.php?pagename=GrimmReality
   http://pah2.golding.id.au/index.php?p=279

   And, in fact, if I edit the page, the Post Preview displays the 404 page!

   I can confirm this isn't just a problem with my plugins. Here is a wordpress.com page:

   And here is it not working:

   Is this a suitable bug for posting on WordPress Trac?

   Confirmed on my WP sites as well, the odd thing being what he said:

   any capitalization works fine on Category URI, but you have to type the exact capitalization on Page URI or it returns 404

   Seems like a bug to me
