At work I needed a way to allow controller names to be called up insensitive of case. I found a way to do it but it seems a little over the top.
Either add this one-liner to systems/libraries/Router.php at the start of _validate_request()...
Code:
$segments[0] = strtolower($segments[0]);
... or create application/libraries/MY_Router.php and put the code below in the new file.
Code:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

return $segments;

I believe a config option for this should be added, as while it may not be handy for everyone there are certain circumstances in which this could be useful.
