URI matching is case-sensitive
0%
Description
The PageUriMatcher in TYPO3 9 is case-sensitive.
All slugs are created in lowercase.
If I try to call an existing page www.example.com/en/text with www.example.com/en/Test I get an error.
Resolving the correct page should work without consideration of the case.
Or it should at least be configurable to turn off the case-sensitivity.

The problem here is that URIs were not case-sensitive with realurl. So migrating to v9 without realurl might break links which customers were accustomed to use.

- Priority changed from Should have to Must have
I think this is more a must from your described perspective.

@Benni Mack to you see a chance that it is possible to add an case-insensitive option for routeEnhancers for example?

As mentioned, everything beyond the TLD is managed by the actual server software (apache / nginx), Apache can be configured to have both variants allowed, so:
a) TYPO3 v9 generates URLs in lower-case by default
b) if your server is not configured to treat both URLs the same way, you're doomed.
In our case of our projects, we built a PSR-15 middleware to overcome this issue, and redirect to a lower-case variant.

Maybe you want to try out this extension? https://github.com/b13/justincase

The extension was just published to TER, and works just fine, solves the issue and is compatible with TYPO3 v9 and TYPO3 v10. I recommend using the extension, as this only affects
a) TYPO3 installations with URLs that are communicated in a wrong fashion from external people
b) RFC states we (TYPO3 Core) should stay case-sensitive, as per "SHOULD" definition - maybe I will change my mind but I think we're good for now.
In general, I assume we need to consider how to "create" slugs for pages that they could be upper-case if requested, but that's a bigger and separate topic.

If you feel we should keep this issue open for some reason, let me know.
