[asterisk-app-dev] Standardization of Case for ARI URIs

[Paul Belanger]

Correct me if I am wrong, but when we output the TECH, we just convert
to to lower case for ARI URIs?On Tue, Jan 21, 2014 at 5:57 PM, Scott

A quick google[1] shows URLs SHOULD be case sensitive, according to
the RFC. So, we should enforce that from the URL POV.

This would also break some EXISTING ari apps, likely also tests.

I don't think we actually need to change anything in asterisk to make
TECH case sensitive. Unless you see value in having SIP/foo and
sip/foo as different endpoints.
