Perhaps Etoys is doing something with the text field, expanding it somehow . . . "MrSteve" -> "Mr Steve"
As far as I know, Etoys does not do such conversion.
It sounds that server decided to do the lowercase normalization. Such network programs should be strict about their output but forgiving for input. So, the server should just do the conversion for any incoming requests. The client (Etoys in this case) should just send the string as the user typed in.
Yes, I'm pretty sure Etoys does not alter the typed-in username in any way. Maybe the server is not case-insensitive everywhere? Like in the DAV module? Etoys constructs the pathname using the typed-in username, maybe that's where the server fails?
