Case Insensitive QBO URLs

Post date: Dec 11, 2018 6:47:0 PM

QBO has been updated to support cases insensitive URLs and parameters. While not a breaking change, the change is deep enough that it includes a feature switch to enable/disable the functionality: qbo.Application.Properties.Settings.CaseSensitiveMethodSignature, which defaults to false.

To leverage the feature switch, instead of calling:

new Dictionary<string, object>()

code should instead call:

new Parameters()

The Parameters class constructor sets the StringComparer based on the CaseSensitiveMethodSignature. Beyond that, the functionality is equivalent to IDictionary<string, object>.

The changes to enable this include:

• • Created application setting CaseSensitiveMethodSignatures, defaults to true

  • Introduced a Parameters: Dictionary<string, object> that sets case sensitivity based on CaseSensitiveMethodSignatures

  • Introduced IConfigurationName for configuration elements that implement Name properties

  • DbConfigurationElementCollection: this[string name] will resolve names in a case insensitive format for IConfigurationName items

  • AbstractObject: new Dictionary<string, object> => new Parameters()

  • Decorated several configuration classes with IConfigurationName

  • Updated Functions to handle type resolution of Parameters correctly

  • Created IgnoreCaseFacts test

  • Added code to abide by Accept headers for Output

  • Updated other tests as needed to correct bugs in the test code.
