Description

Is it possible to standardize the case of the dataset subdirectories in the mastDownload/HST directory? For example, in the same query, I have "jd5702010" and "JD5702JNQ"

Research direction

Start by searching the astroquery codebase for the mastDownload/HST path handling and inspect how dataset subdirectory names are generated for the two example names, jd5702010 and JD5702JNQ. No file or test is named in the issue, so identify the relevant query code and add or run coverage showing that equivalent results use one consistent case.
