Pathnames are case sensitive
See original GitHub issue/learn
is not the same as /LEARN
or /LeArN
. The second two take you to user profiles, I believe they are the same user profiles. Just starting an issue about it, I haven’t looked into it at all.

We will not be using
/u/username
pattern, there are a lot of backlinks that will be broken.We also reserve the right to claim a path for our use as needed. Its on the user’s part to NOT choose that is something unconventional.
Practically why would you choose a username ‘LEARN’?
We have claimed paths in the past, by sending a notification to users for the change.
That said, this is a valid issue, we should add a middleware to make paths case-insentive. I am not sure yet, but this would mean the change can be at the client level as well, in addition to the API separately.
@thecodingaviator if we can do that, it would simplify the client code and cut down on the number of unavoidable 404s. Mrugesh will know if there’s a reason not to beyond “it’ll be a complicated rewrite”.
