Yes, the two URLs are different. There is no way Squid can know that
this server is case-insensitive.

By using a redirector that folds case on URLs you know for certain to

Note: Larger parts of the web is case sensititive. Only requests for
plain files on Windows servers are not.. (but there is several
applications running on Windows servers that are case sensitive).
