Error description
Problem: We use mixed case URLs. The trace from the plugin shows
that our url LaunchControl.lmig.com is trying to be matched
against
lowercase launchcontrol.lmig.com and it never matches.
The plugin is behaving case sensitive.  It should not be case
sensitive.
Local fix
Have all URLs lowercase.
Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server plugin users    *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Virtual Host treated as case sensitive  *
*                      when it should be case insensitive.     *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
A performance enhancement inadvertently changed the case
sensitivity of virtual host matching from being
case insensitive to case sensitive.  It should not be
case sensitive.
Problem conclusion
Fixed the code so the virtual host matching is now
case insensitive again.
