According to the RFC (2396), the scheme part of the URI is to be all
lowercase and also should be case insensitive in case uppercase is used
anyway.  Host names are also supposed to be case-insensitive.  Otherwise
the RFC does not constrain the case sensitivity-ness.  So it would be up
to the server.
