I remember case-sensitivity being a bit of a problem when people (I think mostly the Archive Team) was trying to scrape GeoCities before Yahoo killed it off. If I remember correctly, Geocities was run off Apache but used a combination of symlinks and possibly mod_speling to make it act case-insensitive. This resulted in a lot of weirdness and
the dump isn't really usable on Windows.
