@Kumasasa Good point.
Would it be possible to have `minecraft.net/skin/<user>.png` convert to lowercase names then?
@CubeTheThird That would be a good workaround, but it is an excessive solution to a simple problem, especially considering that you would have to loop it.
That's a good idea for a workaround, but it doesn't include players who are on the white list that have not logged in, and then players that were removed from the white list but have logged in.
Also, this bug doesn't have anything to do with https://mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MC-3834, please remove the link.
For third party scripts that want to use the whitelist.
e.g.;
<?php
$players = explode(trim(file_get_contents("whitelist.txt")));
foreach($players as $player){
echo "<img src='http://www.minecraft.net/skin/$player.png' />\n";
}
?>
This only works for usernames that are lowercase.
Here's a working example as well;

@Kumasasa
I misread the second half of your post.
This would be an excellent fix for both this ticket and MC-3834.
