You may have noticed, and I have for sure, that submissions from our blog to Digg no longer work. We haven’t changed anything on our side, and the URL-encoding in submission parameters was double-checked ant seems perfectly correct. What is most interesting though, that none of our URLs work even when you submit them “by hand” at Digg - Submit Item, no matter that they are perfectly correct and accessible.
Unlikely as it may seem, but I can’t help but think that this is a bug on Digg’s side. And the only explanation for this behavior I can think of, is that Digg for some reason converts submitted URLs to lower-case before processing them. That doesn’t work since our URLs are upper-case and case-sensitive. This kind of behavior would be obviously incorrect, since the path element of an URI is case-sensitive.Any ideas on this matter?
