[Bug 297837] [NEW] bad gopher support of abstracts with case sensitive file names

[Mathias Kende]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

The problem can be seen on thse two page :

http://repository.quare.fr:70/C
gopher://repository.quare.fr/1/C

Both are served with pygopherd server. But when firefox is connecting
directly to the server with the gopher protocol, then the abstract of
the files with upper case characters in their name are not displayed.
Yet, these abstract can be seen in the source of the page.

When connected to pygopherd with http protocol, the abstracts are
displayed properly.

The problem seems specific to firefox and not to the gopher protocol or
server because other clients (e.g. lynx) display the abstracts
correctly.
