Maybe you should change this challenge a bit.
I assume that the script is using "strtolower()" to check the submitted url.
But files and folders are case-sensitive and this results in a 404 error message if there's any folder (or the file itself) with an upper-case letter.

The hostname and protocol are case insensitive, but the username, password, path and query are up to the server to interpret, and if that server's OS has case sensitive filenames (which is the case for most currently used non-MS-windows operating systems) the case is likely to matter.

I hosted it on a file sharing website and entered the URL of the uploaded file containing just the words "pewter scooter"

newline at end of file

Post by SnakeSnake »

By far the hardest part of this challenge for me was making my editors stop automatically append a newline at the end of a file...

took me some time to find a free host that did not add anything AT ALL... not easy challenge if you don't host it at home or you are behind a router
