Possible bug in Manila

Hi folks,

Brand new installation of 9.1b4 on WinXP Pro.  I opened the control panel
and added a new site.  When I went back to the home page the new site did
not appear.  I restarted Frontier and all the sites vanished from the
control panel (even though they were still there and accessible).

Eventually I tracked the problem down to:

	mainResponder.adminSite.macros.initSiteListCache

the first statement of the visitProc() method is:

	if not ( f beginsWith wwwFolder )

what I was finding was that:

	wwwFolder = "c:\frontier\guest databases\www"

while f was something like:

	f = "C:\frontier\guest..."

so the comparison would always fail and the code never finds
manilaWebsites.root.

As a quick fix I put in string.lower()'s to make sure the comparison works.
Is this a bug?  If not, how does Frontier end up getting different path
names for the same path?

Regards,

Matt
