Build ID: 20151001044230

Steps to reproduce:

1- enter this url 'http://UPPERcase.com/'



Actual results:

when the site is not found ,the url get converted to lower case as in 
'http://uppercase.com/'


Expected results:

it shouldn't change the url from uppercase to lowercase
DNS is not case-sensitive, so when we normalize the URL it is always going to be lowercase. We display the normalized URL in error messages, so WONTFIX.

is there anyway I can disable this normalization?
