I don't know the exact answer to this one, but in any case one should always assume that url's/passwords/usernames are case-sensitive. That way you will never run into problems.

First off, urls, email, ALL case insensitive.

wwW.GOogLe.CoM
and
WWW.GOOGLE.COM
OR
www.SysOpt.com
AND
WWw,SYSopt.COM

same thing.

username/password CASE sensitive, not even same issue.

Unix as an OS, CASE sensitive.

Why is this a problem/issue?

Solution would be to always store urls in upper or lower case. Whatever uses them shouldn't really care?

been there, done that? My cats/docs/pets say the same thing!

matrix_vn,

you are correct, case seems to be relevant to access.

taking a look at:

http://www.dnlaw.com.vn/EN/

the interesting thing is ...com.vn/EN/

can ping:

www.dnlaw.com.vn

but not:

www.dnlaw.com

so it seems the .vn/EN/ may fall under the directory structure for the given webserver OS.

Any idea what ".vn" denotes?

oops, Vietnam. Seems nation designation affects the following chars in URL, OR (./)?

If this helps:

keep base url (www.dnlaw.com.vn) case insensitive, anything after, case sensitive.

guessing this is a DNS issue, but, just guessing...
