Capitalized "JPG" extension different from lowercase "jpg"?


I am working on a personal webpage, a draft version of which I have uploaded to www.kurtpeek.com. One of the bugs I notice, is that one of my jpeg images in the "About Me" section, "MIT_IAP_SAR_smallest.JPG", does not show up on the web, but I can see it just fine if I look at it on my computer. (You can download the directory from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1396332/kurtpeek.com.rar ).

The only difference I can see with the other pictures is that this one has a capitalized ".JPG" extension instead of a lowercase ".jpg" one. However, if I try to rename the file to a lowercase extension Windows 7 just capitalizes it again.

Any help on this issue would be much appreciated.

Best regards, Kurt Peek

P.S. This problem seems similar to this one:

php file upload capitalized filename issue

but as far as I can tell that problem was not resolved.

  • It is very likely that your server is running under a Linux distribution, whose file system is usually case-sensitive.
