Is hTTp://foo.com the same as Http://foo.COM?
I know that hostnames are not sensitive but path names and query parts are sensitive.

By default, Web servers are expected to be case-sensitive. Although most HTTP servers support the HTTP specification that defines URLs as case-sensitive, some HTTP servers treat URLs as not case-sensitive.
It may surprise you but, yes, URLs are case sensitive. And, if you have both upper- and lowercase versions of your site's domain, you may be unintentionally making Google's job harder — and hurting your site's own performance.
The cases of letters in a URL absolutely do matter to Google. Two URLs could look the same, and even lead to the same content, but they could be treated as different URLs if one has a capital letter and the other doesn't.
Rule #5: Lowercase letters should be preferred in URI paths When convenient, lowercase letters are preferred in URI paths since capital letters can sometimes cause problems. RFC 3986 defines URIs as case-sensitive except for the scheme and host components. This URI is fine.
The scheme is case-insensitive: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#section-3.1
The hostname is also case-insensitive, since it's DNS.
The rest is case sensitive.
