Domain names are not case sensitive (ie the DNS system is not case sensitive). All the rest of the URL depends on the web-server, and thus usually is considered case-sensitive as most webservers are UNIX/Linux/BSD and their filesystems are case-sensitive. Windows servers are likely not sensitive to case, but I still would always consider the path part of the URL case-sensitive even if working on one of those.
