Description
Most clients seem to automatically lowercase hostnames, however lynx doesn't seem to.
For example compare:
lynx -source http://DUMP.dgl.cx # source of http://www.otherwize.co.uk/
and
lynx -source http://dump.dgl.cx # correct - 403 error
I think the easiest solution would be to lowercase hostnames as soon as possible.. (See RFC 2616 section 3.2.3).
