Is this possible? So if someone entered www.mysite.com/PAGE.html they would actually get taken to www.mysite.com/page.html

Redirect from upper case to lower case URL's on a Windows server
- Thread starter Alliance
- Start date
what is a windows server? IIS? Apache under windows?
how to use mod_rewrite to lower-case the destination? has a similar predicament on apache...
anyway, its not that easy, it seems...
Personally, i'd do something like:
RewriteRule ^([A-Z]+).html$ redirect.php?page=$1 [L]
if you have filenames like PAGE_TWO or PAGE-TWO, then simply add the chars like [A-Z_-]
and then have redirect.php can be like so:
if it's an IIS server, google on how you setup rewrites on that, but the regex is going to be similar

header("Location: " . strtolower($_GET['page']));
?>
I do not think the above will work. Basically it makes an endless loop of redirection. Even-if $_GET is having all lowercase this code will redirect again to lowercase.
But if you can add a if else to check the $_GET and do the redircect only if URL contains Uppercase (and in other case do nothing)on it this code will work
