Because URLs are supposed to be case sensitive. According to RFC 2068
(HTTP/1.1):
3.2.3 URI Comparison
When comparing two URIs to decide if they match or not, a client
SHOULD use a case-sensitive octet-by-octet comparison of the entire
URIs.
Unfortunately, some company decided that breaking the spec is an
innovation. I did some work to make the http code configurably case
insensitive, but I would need to spend some time making sure it's ready
for prime time and I don't see that time being available anytime in the
near future.
