URL's are stored in the session history in a case-insensitive manner.  this is
good for the hostname part of the URL, but bad for the rest.  it can keep one
from being able to navigate back to a page they were at previously.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacer
2. click on the link to for the H-bomb-related PACER project to take you to

3. notice that clicking the back arrow doesn't behave the way you want it to
