Should a URL string be case insensitive or does it actually matter?
While the host part is case-insensitive, the path is case-sensitive on almost every website. In principle a website could choose to do a case-insensitive match, but I can't think of one that does.
Most web servers on unix or linux the URL is case sensitive. IIS on windows the URL is not case sensitive. The domain name is not case sensitive.
