Minor detail here perhaps, but...

I would object to URLs being "mostly case insensitive", even if github apparently seems to work that way. The path part of URLs are rarely case insensitive since it tends to map to a *nix file system, while the host name part is insensitive as section 3.2.2 in RFC 3986 says.
