case-insensitive with mod_rewrite

One of my wishes: understanding regex :)

Hi,

I´m searching for a mod_rewrite rule to make my folders and filename case insensitive.

In thousands of html files are thousands <img src>es and <a href>s with case-sensitive folder- and filenames from a frontpage(argh!)-guy

And now I have to fix it. The best would be to use mod_rewrite I think. But I never was a mod_rewrite-guru ... (I dont want to process the folders with an regex, because the mod_rewrite could be helpful in another folders)

Could anybody give me a hint or a complete rule? :-)

Thanks very very much!!!!

I haven't tested this, but assuming that all your physical directory and file names are in lowercase, you could try the following, which uses one of the builtin mapping function in the substitution pattern:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} [A-Z]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ${tolower:$1}
