Different URLs.

  In program assignment 2b, you've asked that every URL output be different
  from all other URLs output. The URLs http://www.monmouth.edu and
  http://192.100.64.7 ar different, but they point to the same place. Should
  we consider them to be different or the same?

You can consider them to be different based on a comparison of the URLs
themselves; you needn't consider what they point to. Note that the host (and
protocol) part of a URL is case insensitive; that is www.monmouth.edu and
WwW.mOnMoUtH.eDu are not different. However, you should assume the directory
part of a URL is case sensitive; that is

  http://www.monmouth.edu/index.html

is different from

  http://www.monmouth.edu/Index.html
