No. nginx relies on filesystem case ignorance.

CheckSpelling functionality causes a lot of syscalls: instead of
open()/fstat()/close() it requires additionally
opendir()/readdir()/closedir() which cause at least 9 syscalls on
FreeBSD.
They can be cached using nginx open_file_cache, but I think it’s
better to use exact names: browsers do not ignore case when they cache
response.
