##Azure blob storage case-sensitivity
In the <resource-provider> tag, you probably noticed we set case-sensitive:false.
That's actually a lie, the Azure blob storage system is case-sensitive.
Setting it to false is necessary to work around a feature of Lucee, which was probably created for local filesystems, not (slower) remote ones. The feature is: if we check for existence of a file or directory, and it does not seem to exist, Lucee will retrieve a full directory listing to check if the file/directory exists with different case. (eg. fileExists('test.txt') will match TeSt.TXT, even on a case-sensitive filesystem)
If you work with large blob containers, containing hundreds or thousands of files/directories inside a directory/root,
then keep the case-sensitive setting to false. If you set it to true, you might be waiting multiple seconds on a
simple fileExists/directoryExists call.
