Should loadActorByName() be case insensitive?

Created on 10 May 2025, 13 days ago

Coming from 🐛 ActivityPub server not searchable Active , I noticed that when a webfinger request searches for an actor, the matching is case sensitive.

E.g, this https://hybridized-concepts.com/.well-known/webfinger?resource=cwsmith@h...
does not work, where as with CWSmith@hybridized-concepts.com it does.

which makes me wonder: is this a bug, or by design? How do other AP software handle this, or is there anything in the spec about this?
