           Summary: Host part of news://host.name.tld/ URL is handled case
                    sensitive

            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: knode-devel kde org

Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

If I click on a news://host.name.tld/news.group style URL, and the newsserver is already in the list of newsservers used by me, but the hostname differs in case, a new account is added for this newsserver instead of using the existing account.

As far as I know, the hostname part of an URL is always case insensitive, so this should be changed.

If the cases match, the existing account is used, so this is wrong only for _differing_ host name cases.

I don't know of the news.group part of news:// URLs has to be handled case sensitive.
