[asterisk-dev] case sensitivity with global variables

[Klaus Darilion]

Hi!

When using GLOBAL() function it looks like that querying is case 
sensitive, but reading no (as it overwrites the existing variable). This 
is inconsistent with normal channel variables which are always case 
insensitive:

Tested on 1.6.2.7:

Set(FOO=BAR);
Verbose(${FOO});		-> BAR
Verbose(${foo});		-> BAR
Set(foo=bar);
Verbose(${FOO});		-> bar
Verbose(${foo});		-> bar

Set(GLOBAL(FOO)=BAR);
Verbose(${GLOBAL(FOO)});	-> BAR
Verbose(${GLOBAL(foo)});	->     (empty)
Set(GLOBAL(foo)=bar);
Verbose(${GLOBAL(FOO)});	->     (empty)
Verbose(${GLOBAL(foo)});	-> bar


Is this a bug that should be fixed (then I will file a bug report) or is 
this by design?

regards
Klaus
