Suggested URL to access webgoat from webgoat.sh is incorrect

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Execute the webgoat.sh script to startup the bundled webgoat/tomcat software
2. Observe that the script recommends the user go to 
http://127.0.0.1/WebGoat/attack
3. Go to this url in your browser and observe that the page fails to load
4. The correct URL is http://127.0.0.1/webgoat/attack (note the lowercase w and 
g)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected
  Open http://127.0.0.1/webgoat/attack
  Username: guest
  Password: guest
  Or try http://guest:guest@127.0.0.1/webgoat/attack 

Current

  Username: guest
  Password: guest
  Or try http://guest:guest@127.0.0.1/WebGoat/attack

I am finding this too: the app is installed into 127.0.0.1/webgoat/attack 
directory, but every reference in the documentation I have seen so far has used 
the 'WebGoat' capitalisation [1][2][3]. 

I'm sure that there are more examples beyond those three, and it is an RC1. 

As a result, I propose that it is the app being installed to the wrong 
directory and not the documentation being incorrect.

[1] - Two references to /WebGoat/attack on the main page 
http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_WebGoat_Project

[2] - The FAQ refers to http://localhost/WebGoat/attack
http://code.google.com/p/webgoat/wiki/FAQ

[3] - The OWASP guide refers to /WebGoat/attack on page 18 of the pdf (though 
it says page 9 at the bottom of the page)

I can confirm that /webgoat/attack is correct address (NOT /WebGoat/attack).

Fixed in 5.4 - all should be WebGoat/attack
