Lower case album titles fail

nzsnapper

One of my customers was having persistent problems creating new galleries, a system error was being reported. After a little digging it appears that titles starting with a lower case letter trigger the bug, start with an upper case letter and all is well.

The behaviour is the same with API 1.2.2 and 1.3.0, the issue is seen with the new SmugMug. I haven't checked with an old style SmugMug site. Sample debug from my plugin demonstrates the difference in behaviour.

Working as intended unfortunately. There is some discussion on one of the Baldy threads about it - basically Smugmug are reserving lower case urls for future use, so user created ones have to be upper case.
