Umbraco 7: Change URLs to uppercase / lowercase

How can I change all URLs to uppercase / lowercase, or change the default naming convention?

Eg. from:

http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/

to:

http://our.umbraco.org/Projects/Backoffice-Extensions/

This is not so hard if you know how to program C#.

You basically need to write your own UrlSegmentProvider (see documentation).

public class UppercaseUrlSegmentProvider: IUrlSegmentProvider
{ 
    private readonly IUrlSegmentProvider provider = new DefaultUrlSegmentProvider();
    public string GetUrlSegment(IContentBase content)
    {
        return this.GetUrlSegment(content, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
    }
    public string GetUrlSegment(IContentBase content, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        // Maybe you don't want to do that for all contentTypes
        // if so, check on the contentType:  if (content.ContentTypeId != 1086)

        var segment = this.provider.GetUrlSegment(content);

        // for the sake of simplicity I have put everything in uppercase, 
        // you could of course implement something like this: 
        // http://www.java2s.com/Code/CSharp/Data-Types/CamelCase.htm    
        return segment.ToUpper().ToUrlSegment();
    }       
}

To activate your segment provider, you can use the ApplicationStarting method of the ApplicationEventHandler.

public class MySegmentEvents : ApplicationEventHandler
{
    protected override void ApplicationStarting(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication,     ApplicationContext applicationContext)
    {
        base.ApplicationStarting(umbracoApplication, applicationContext);
        // UrlSegmentProviderResolver.Current.Clear();
        UrlSegmentProviderResolver.Current.InsertType<UppercaseUrlSegmentProvider>(0);
    }
}

Attention, if you have implemented the code above, the existing nodes won't change automatically. It's only after a "Save And Publish" that your URL of the particular node will have it's new "segment".
