I just migrated one of our uses from a Windows-based webserver to a Linux one.

On the Windows-based one, it was case-insensitive, so he could have a directory called "ARTICLES" and he could refer to it with links like "articles" or "Articles" or "ArTiClEs" and the server would find the folder. Because he managed all of his html files with Notepad, there are a lot of links like that.

Now, on the Linux box, those links are broken.

I've got him using Dreamweaver, now, so we can do a site-wide case-sensitive link check. But that only finds the broken links. It doesn't find their case-insensitive match and change the link automatically. What I'd like is a tool which does that; I want it to scan through the links, find the broken links, see if there's a case-insensitive match and, if so, change the link in the file to match it.

Anybody know of a tool like that, before I write one myself?

P.S. - Yes, I know that I can just use Apache's case-insensitive module to emulate case-insensitive file lookup for this person's website. I'd like to avoid that, if I can. I'd rather get this person's website cleaned up and proper.
