image extensions should not be case sensitive!

[altenbach]

So I wanted to insert the link to the picture attached here via its URL, but it gets rejected by the import tool.

If I change the extension on the URL to lower-case png, everything works fine, even though the link actually points to an upper case PNG.

I think the photo import tool should ignore the lettercase of URLs..

This has been a problem for a long time.  I was unable to find where I brought it up.

Obviously, there is a list of allowed image types as identified by their extension. Apparently, this list is lowercase, so any extension needs to be converted to lc before checking.

(There is also a list of allowed file types for attachments. Is that one case insensitive?)

Hi there! We've fixed this. Can you please do a quick test to confirm it's working now?

Let's see if this works...

Nope.  If the extension was lower case, that pasting would have inserted the image.

Using "Insert Photos":

That worked!  So I would say you have half the solution...
