For note, URI addresses are case-insensitive (the www.google.com
part), the path is *NOT* case insensitive, I am guessing you were
either using a broken Windows server or something like Apache with
url-rewrite or whatever it was called.  You should never assume
case-insensitivity on a URI path, *ever*.
