I am working on course materials for an advanced searching class and I
was wondering about whether trainers mention case sensitivity in URLs.
The domain part of the address is not case sensitive since it relies on
a domain server.  The directory path and filename are case sensitive
only if the website is hosted from a UNIX server.  Is this information
correct?  I have found conflicting opinions after running an Internet
search.
