           Summary: Javascript Image.src fails to request new image when the
                    url domain contains uppercase letters.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore JavaScript
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: mail at trentdavies.com


im = new Image(); im.src = my_url;

The above javascript code in certain conditions fails to perform an HTTP GET
when my_url is set to a domain with uppercase letters in it, as in
'http://www.apPle.com' instead of 'http://www.apple.com'.

This problem occurs in the onclick handler for a link that exits the current
page.

**The problem DOES NOT occur when my_url is all lowercase (i.e.
'http://www.apple.com'.**

I will attach a simple reduction test case to illustrate the problem.
