Should .htaccess commands be case sensitive?

I have seen many tutorials on . Different people write differently. You can find variations of casing:

rewriteengine on
RewriteEntgine on
Rewritengine On

It seems all of those are working fine.

  1. Is there a reason for casing commands?
  2. Is it possible for a command to fail due to wrong casing?

Apache documentation suggests that the directives are not case-sensitive, but the argument may be. I would recommend you stick to the format declared in the official documentation to avoid possible confusion and/or failure.
