[avahi] Hostname case-sensitivity

[Esko Dijk]

Hi,

See mDNS https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6762#section-16 and RFC 4343 that clarifies in more detail.
So the hostnames must be treated case-insensitive. 

Personally I'm not aware of what changed between these versions.

Subject: [avahi] Hostname case-sensitivity

Hi,

I couldn't find this already being addressed, so thought I'd ask. I've 
been using an embedded Linux image built with Avahi 0.6.32 for some time 
now, and have had a go trying to build the same image with 0.8. I've 
been successful, and it seems to work, but I'm seeing that, if I ping a 
host, e.g. abc-123456.local, it's failing, but pinging ABC-123456.local 
is fine.

This wasn't the case with 0.6.32; has something changed in that area, or 
is there anything that I may be missing?

Thanks

John
