Default How to get server to ignore URL capitalization

When directly typing in a URL, capitalization doesn't matter for the base URL.eg
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
href="
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
target="_blank">
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
works the same as
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
(
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
) However, capitalization does matter for anything after the base URL.eg
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
href="
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
target="_blank">
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
works, but
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
(
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
) gives a 404 error. Is there anything I can do to make URLs like this work independent of capitalization? Maybe something with htaccess? (I wasn't sure which forum to post my question in - because my server is linux/PHP I figured I would post it here.)
