i bought another record over the weekend, and like some others i've seen recently, it included a coupon for downloading the album on mp3 (which i think is almost totally the most awesome thing). i typed in the url printed on the paper (subpop.com/download_code) and the page came up fine. but i noticed that the url was actually printed in all caps: HTTP://WWW.SUBPOP.COM/DOWNLOAD_CODE. unfortunately, while protocols and domain names are case insensitive, some operating systems' filesystems are broken, and when i typed the url in all caps, i got a 404 page.

thanks, unix!
