Wouldn't be correct either, only the hostname part of the URL is case 
insensitive, the path and possible username/password parts are case not. Some 
servers might not care like apache with mod_speling and probably IIS(?), but 
generally http://www.foo.com/bar is not the same as http://www.foo.com/Bar
