Hi,
it's not the browser that is case-sensitive but the HTTP protocol.
Well, a web *server* which is run on a Windows machine probably won't distinct
between URLs differing only in case since file and directory names under
Windows are case-insensitive. But such a behaviour doesn't change the fact
that
http://www.informatik.uni-bonn.de/~ralf/teaching/HsKurs_toc.html
and
http://www.informatik.uni-bonn.de/~ralf/teaching/Hskurs_toc.html
are different URLs; the server would just provide the same content for both.
This is legal behaviour since a web server can provide whatever content it
wants for a given URL. In no way, URLs have to correspond to files.
