[MonoDevelop] Why is the action name in MVC application case sens itive?

[IBBoard]

More accurately, the path part of a domain is case-sensitive, but the
domain name is case-insensitive (i.e. it is always assumed to be
lower-case).

Windows/IIS does break the rule and treat file paths as
case-insensitive when acting as a web server, but that's because it is
Windows rather than because it is the correct thing to do.

Look at it this way - if you treated the second part of the path (the
thing after "cat") as a value that you could switch on then "list" !=
"List", and so your switch statement would fail. You can choose to
make it a case-insensitive comparison, but that would be a specific
choice.

IBBoard
