Webdav bug or feature ? - Unable to rename if changing capitalization only

$

Hi everyone,

I've come across some interesting behaviour when manipulating a Webdav resource published on an IIS server.  I've observed the behaviour with Windows 2003/IIS 6 and Windows 2008R2/IIS 7.5.

Renaming files and folders work fine in most cases, however I try a rename which changes capitalization only - for example attempting to rename a folder testfoldera toTestFolderA, I get the error message "unable to read from source file or disk"

Can anyone comment on whether this is expected behaviour (i.e a feature) or a bug with Webdav? In Windows you are able to perform such a rename in Explorer even though Windows does not use capitalization in differentiating files - like Unix does. 

Admittedly this isn't a use case that would come up much but where application users are concerned - there's always one!Laughing
