: How do you send a URL request with upper-case characters in the domain name? I wanted to see how my site would respond to a request if the hostname is in capital letters instead of the usual

You could use --header option of wget.

wget --header 'Host: EXAMPLE.COM' example.com

with --debug you could see actual request

wget --debug --header 'Host: EXAMPLE.COM' example.com
...

---request begin---
GET / HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Wget/1.13.4 (linux-gnu)
Accept: */*
Host: EXAMPLE.COM
Connection: Keep-Alive

---request end---
...


But actually it's useless unless you use some custom web server. All modern web servers take care of converting hostname to lowercase.
