Amazement can of course be positive or negative :) I detest unquantified assertions, too. Point taken. I'll add this to the list of items to write up. I've also just thought of a way to test this on case respecting systems, I think - so I don't have to set up IIS for testing. See the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-html40-970708/htmlweb.html" rel="nofollow">World Wide Web Consortium references for a URL</a> - which states that "URLs in general are always case-sensitive.. users should always consider case".

Thanks for this. Are you sure "most" analytics programs don't fold case? The one I use (WebTrends) does. Would you mind being specific about the ones you know about? It would be great to have this kind of information available in one place (here). I'm wondering why any analytics program would be designed to preserve case. Seems like a flaw.
