In general, URLs are only likely to be case-insensitive if the web server
hosting the data is running Windows (or possibly Mac OS). If the web server
is running on a Unix-ish operating system (and most web servers do, I
believe), the file path portion of the URL will be case-sensitive. The site
name isn't ever case sensitive. So the following works:
http://WwW.lDrAw.OrG/reference/
But the following doesn't:
http://www.ldraw.org/Reference/
(Note that you might have to copy and paste the text of the URL into your
address bar for the first link to prove to yourself for certain that it
works. When I tried opening it in a new window previewing this post, it
ended up showing in all lower case.)
Hope this clears things up.
