RFC compatible URLs

[rdebay]

I brought this up a few years ago, but it was never implemented.
PasswordMaker is sensitive to the capitalization of the URL.  This violates the RFC, which requires all URLs to be normalized to lower case before being used.  Therefore PWM needs to lowercase the domain portions of all URLs before hashing them.  There are no requirements for the path to be normalized.

This would only apply to sites using the Default Account, but it has the potential to break current behavior, so I think it should be an option, if implemented...

Does Firefox even allow you have the domain in anything but lower case? If not, then this is actually a non-issue, or at least an issue that only comes up in the other editions.

[tanstaafl]

hah! no, it lowercases it immediately... never noticed that...

[Miquel 'Fire' Burns]

The editions that allow you copy and paste the URL will need to address this however.

Neither did I.  It was an issue back in 2005.  I notice that the most recent version of IE 6 also corrects the URL for you.
I guess that it only needs to be confirmed for other versions besides FF3 and IE6 then.

There's no point in PasswordMaker implementing this behavior for expired versions of Firefox like FF 1.x.

Agreed...
