Is the URL filter case sensitive?

Just banned a domain where capital letters in domain name

[jetteroheller]

When the advertiser URL is

all-the-scrap-directories.Example.com

Is it enough to put
example.com
in the URL filter?

Hi Jettero.. I'm sure there is a way to do that.

One example from my .htaccess file reads:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Java/1 [NC,OR]
(and similar lines, but leave out the ,OR on the last one, just put [NC] ) ..
RewriteRule .* - [F]

The [F] apparently makes the buggers 'Fork Off' (403 forbidden is returned).

Thus if the referrer even CONTAINS Java/1, downloads of my files are disallowed.
This seems to work fine. Previously I had lots of trouble with Java/1 and variations. -Larry

PS: I have a fridge full of German bier. I'm counting the days until Friday.

Ooops! I answered the wrong question.

Frankly, I don't know if the disallowed fragment is case sensitive or not.
I used Java/1 in my example, with the J in upper case, because that is how the perps spelled it. -Larry

To Adsense it does not matter, whether you block

OnlyWidgets.com
onlywidgets.com
ONLYWIDGETS.COM

The domain will be blocked.

And yes, I recommend to block widgets.com instead of subdomain.widgets.com (but make sure that the landing page is actually located at widgets.com, using the preview tool).

Just to confirm this, I have noticed that whenever I have copied and pasted a URL that contains some upper case characters into my ad filter, after I save it, the list appears all in lower case.
