[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] protocol names should not be case sensitive

[iber at physics.rutgers.edu]

Hello,

Currently, mplayer thinks that protocol names should all be lower case.
There's no strict requirement specified in any standard (as far as I
know), and at least one website I know breaks mplayer by using
capitalized URLs.

Bug behavior: give mplayer a url where the protocol name is capitalized,
and it will break. For example:
