Allow mixed case project URLs

[LucaCinquini]

Who: Ryan

Request: allow a user to request a URL such as /projects/ESMPy/, in addition to the already working /projects/esmpy/

[LucaCinquini]

Done and ready to test.

I am not sure how this is supposed to work.

I was able to make a project with a shortname=esmf when the original is shortname=ESMF

I was not able to make a project with a shortname=CoG when the original was shortname=cog

Did this get bounced off of Cecelia? I wonder if this is a good idea?

[LucaCinquini]

Hi Sylvia,
this is not a case of having two projects with names that differ only by case, like "CoG" and "COG". Rather, it's a question of having one project like "ESMPy", but enable both URLs:
/projects/ESMPy/
/projects/esmpy/

[murphysj]

How do I test this then? Did you enable something on the update project
page?

I think you can just go to some project home page, then request the same URL with the project in a different case.

Hi Luca,
FYI, I was able earlier to create a new project with a lower case ESMF when
the original was upper case.

How was this allowed?

It created a problem with the project browser that is trying to return two
projects.

This is really not enabling both URLs.. so that either /esmpy or /ESMPy show up, it is that if someone types both, they revert to the main URL.

So if I type /ESMPy it redirects correctly to /esmpy

You never see ESMPy.

Is that what you thought you did?

[LucaCinquini]

Yes, this is what it needs to do - a simple redirect.

I think we should NOT allow two project that differ only in case. Can you file a ticket to have this fixed, maybe for 2.1 ?
thanks, L
