And RFC 3986 says this: segment-nz = 1*pchar ... pchar = unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / ":" / "@" This is part of the "path" portion of the URI, which is case-sensitive. You would need to register all case combinations that you intend to use. If you register "CACerts", then "cacerts" would not match. If you register "CACerts" *and* "cacerts", then "CACERTS" would not match. You need to pick one. It would be a bad idea to register multiple similar ones. I suggest registering the all-lower-case version, "cacerts". Probably, 5785 should have declared well-known names to be case-insensitive, but it didn't. I suspect that the designated experts would not accept registrations for different uses for names that differ only in case. Barry
