It's possible that the host name "WWW.GEOCITIES.COM" (which is resolved via
DNS) is case-insensitive (1), and the directory path
"/rodeodrive/mall/1994/" (which is resolved by the server's file system) is
case-sensitive. The only case-insensitive http servers I've seen have been
on Win32 and NetWare platforms -- both developed with at least a partial
MS-DOS mentality.
It's another entirely frustrating argument about why Win32 filesystems don't
handle filename case properly... Thanks a whole freaking bunch, Bill. >:-P

1. Which begs the question, why...

| [definitely off-topic, not necessarily fun. Where's lugnet.off-topic.rant?] (...) GeoCities seems to be partially case-sensitive. (URL) will work, but <HTTP://WWW.GEOCITIE...ALL/1994/> won't. That just bites. Who wrote that server? Steve (25 years ago, 9-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
