particle claim should work when supplying an ID with uppercase hex letters

[opyh]

We just tried to claim a Photon by supplying its ID that we copy&pasted from the command line output of particle-cli. It worked neither with the Particle Build web interface nor with particle-cli ('Could not claim device')

The ID was 220034000E47343432313031.

When we changed the letter E to e, it worked. Could it be that IDs are interpreted case sensitive somewhere on the server? In this case the tool should output the ID in lowercase or the server should convert the IDs to lowercase before trying to add them to your account.

What command did you run that output the ID in uppercase?

[opyh]

If I remember correctly, this was part of the particle setup output.

I've fixed the setup output to lowercase. I will file an internal bug against our API to be case-insensitive.

Thanks for your quick response!
