AEM Dispatcher filter - how to make case insensitive?

HI,

I am not sure if below is helpful in your case, worth to give a try.

Mastering the AEM Dispatcher Part 2: Case Insensitive URLs

Thanks @@Arun Patidar​

I've seen the (excellent) blogs you linked to, but those concern the Apache mod_rewrite module.  I'm working in the dispatcher.any file  (i.e. configuring Apache mod_dispatcher).

The Adobe filter documentation (see my link above) says

so I hoped a simple tweak to the regex "...defined here between single quotes..." would make the filter ignore case.  But my suggestion above doesn't work.  How do I write a dispatcher.any filter that ignores case?

Hi,

I am not sure how to do that, I am unable to test in my machine but you can try below if helps

'(css|gif|ico|js|png|swf|jpe?g)'/i

'(css|gif|ico|js|png|swf|jpe?g)'i

thanks for your suggestions Arun Patidar​

My reading of the documentation's "...regular expression, defined here between single quotes..." was that the regex literally had to be 'between...quotes' but i gave your suggestions a try nevertheless (presumably you saw what i said I had tried in the original question above?).

Unfortunately neither of those worked.

As suggested I would just convert all extensions to lowercase using mod_rewrite. Although the dispatcher might support regular expressions, I don't assume that it will support all modifiers you are used from the PCRE.

I'm not looking to support all modifiers from the PCRE just this one (case-insensitivity)  and as a starting point, if I can avoid having to maintain configuration in two different places to achieve one thing, then I would rather do that.

As a follow-up question, do you know where can I reference exactly what flavour of regex the dispatcher does support?

thanks

If i can't pin down a regex case insensitive flag for the Dispatcher, amending the filter's regex to something like the following seems to work, (though it's not particularly readable)
