It's a problem because URLs are case sensitive.

If the fact that "http://" is lower or uppercase doesn't depend on the answer of the remote server (does it?), I expect the result to be consistent.

For instance, when running a script that compares URLs or checks against a hash, it will fail because of this inconsistency - except if a function that identifies "https?://" and lowercase it is run against every URL before storing it.

Best,

Marc
