Topic: Service Base URL case sensitivity
Paul Lomayesva (Feb 13 2022 at 23:26):
I have a question about the FHIR definition for Service Base URL (http://hl7.org/fhir/http.html#root), as it relates to the "/path" portion of the URL. From the spec:
The Service Base URL is the address where all of the resources defined by this interface are found. The Service Base URL takes the form of
http{s}://server{/path}
The spec goes on to say "All URLs (and ids that form part of the URL) defined by this specification are case sensitive".
For example, is FHIR saying that these two are NOT to be considered the the same thing?
http://myserver:8080/mypath1/Patient/123
http://myserver:8080/MYPATH1/Patient/123
I do not mean to argue one way or the other, just want to make sure I understand correctly.

yes you understand correctly. There's no rule that they can't refer to the same content, only that systems are not to assume that they do
