Dear Gfycat, why in the seven fucks do your direct links not work with lowercase letters?

https://gfycat.com/oblongobedientca... works just fine but https://giant.gfycat.com/oblongobed... crashes and burns because 3 letters in the user's name are uppercase?

Now I have to find a way to hack my way out of this bullshit in my app. Thanks, you cunts.

    A lot of these services are case sensitive these days, even though the web really oughtn’t be.

    Because gfycat runs on Apache and Apache runs on Linux and in Linux Steve is not the same as steve

    @Brolls domains should be case insensitive, identifiers not right?

    @Codex404 I believe the entirety of URL resolution should be case insensitive.

    @Brolls hmm, even Google does it wrong while they fight for correct Internet usage by devs

    I believe I read in an rfc once that urls are in fact allowed to be case sensitive, though i agree it is a bad practice.

    @LucaScorpion so base64 is bad practice for YouTube links for example?
