[issue25068] The proxy key's string should ignore case.

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

Looking at the code, I think Python 3 is in the same boat. Most things in Python are case-sensitive, but I think it is reasonable to make an exception here, since the protocol schemes in general are insensitive. E.g. urlopen("HTTPS://bugs.python.org/issue25068") still uses "https" internally.

It would be good to include a test case and a note in the documentation if we added this though.
