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: [image] Is there any way to make _redirects case-insensitive? Support 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?

I only just found this out. This is a mistake. We should be completely in control of the casing of our resources. I have a bunch of 301 redirects that Google doesn’t like because my Sitemap and links all over the internet uses the correct casing, but you guys redirect to lower-case. We really need to be able to disable this, please.

Hi, @kluplau. In my testing, my own site hosted on Netlify is not forcing a redirect to all lower case at this time. What URL is this happening for in your own testing?

Netlify automatically normalises URLs to lowercase and there’s no way to disable it. Redirecting URLs seems like a bad default, and even worse if it’s not a setting. Our application’s back-end uses case-sensitive paths, and when these are transformed, we get 404s from our back-end. Completely breaks our service, as some resources have case-sensitive URLs (which should be OK according to the URL spec) Many apps use NanoID, for example. These would all break if I’m understanding this correctly.

We do that only for static files. Rewrites to other sites, Netlify Functions, etc. should work in case-insensitive manner.

Hugo supports a config option that addresses this problem: disablePathToLower = true Based on my testing, Netlify apparently does not respect this feature. To fix the underlying option, perhaps Netlify should support the option that Hugo supports.
