How to disable "Uppercase URLs are redirected to Lowercase URLs" feature?

[Pil0tXia]

• Hexo Site: pil0txia.netlify.app

• Problem URL: https://pil0txia.netlify.app/post/2020-09-02_Angel-Beats!/

Google Search Console notified me that this URL has index problems (Failed: Redirect Error) (Page Indexing report - Search Console Help).

The URL I specified in sitemap is https://pil0txia.netlify.app/post/2020-09-02_Angel-Beats!/ ,which has uppercase characters. Netlify will automatically rewrite/redirect https://pil0txia.netlify.app/post/2020-09-02_Angel-Beats!/ to https://pil0txia.netlify.app/post/2020-09-02_angel-beats!/ . However, the redirect won’t happen when I deployed my Hexo site to OSS+CDN (for example Backblaze B2 + Cloudflare) and I prefer the latter.

I didn’t enable Asset Optimization/Pretty URLs or netlify.toml. Please tell me how to solve it. Thanks a lot!

Hi @Pil0tXia,

Thanks for reaching out!

I found this Netlify forum post on a similar issue:

Is there any way to make _redirects case-insensitive?

URLs are case-sensitive for anything after the domain name, so sadly what you’re looking for is not really a Netlify limitation as they’re 2 separate URLs. What you’re looking for is possible using Edge Handlers. You can check for the URL, convert it to lowercase and redirect accordingly. But, it’s still in invite-only stage. What you can do is, create a page on your website to redirect to and redirect using JavaScript. So, you can create something like, yourwebsite.com/redirect/?=github (case…

Let us know if you have any questions.

No, I didn’t set any netlify.toml file. I want to disable any redirect and keep my URLs with uppercase. May you please tell me how to do it?

Netlify automatically normalises URLs to lowercase and there’s no way to disable it.

Is there anything I can do?

I don’t believe so, sorry.
