----------------------------------------------

@Alejandro

> On #3, it will be confusing to users that part of the URL is case sensitive (the path) and part it is not (the query-string). Given that HDFS is case sensitive, making the path case insensitive is not an option. Thus, I'm suggesting to make it all case sensitive and there will be no confusion there.

We cannot make it all case sensitive, e.g. scheme and authority are case insensitive.  For examples,

- [hTTps://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2316] - works
- https://iSSues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2316 - works
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/BRowse/HDFS-2316 - does not works

> We current have hftp for accessing HDFS over HTTP.  However, hftp is a read-only FileSystem and does not provide "write" accesses.
> In HDFS-2284, we propose to have webhdfs for providing a complete FileSystem implementation for accessing HDFS over HTTP.  The is the umbrella JIRA for the tasks.
