Comment on How do search engines treat trailing slashes and capital letters in URLs?parent

That's overstating the "case" (pun!). Ignoring or normalizing case is different from ignoring a non-redundant URL with uppercase.

But it might cause problems if the IIS server isn't properly case-preserving to normalize back to the standard (possibly capitalized) form.

Mac filesystem was nicely case-preserving but case-agnostic in this way, going back decades.

It’s still like this by default, which can cause issues when working with folders created on other platforms.
