 See section 3.2.3

 {{{
    When comparing two URIs to decide if they match or not, a client
    SHOULD use a case-sensitive octet-by-octet comparison of the entire
    URIs, with these exceptions:

       - A port that is empty or not given is equivalent to the default
         port for that URI-reference;

         - Comparisons of host names MUST be case-insensitive;

         - Comparisons of scheme names MUST be case-insensitive;

         - An empty abs_path is equivalent to an abs_path of "/".

    Characters other than those in the "reserved" and "unsafe" sets (see
    RFC 2396 [42]) are equivalent to their ""%" HEX HEX" encoding.

    For example, the following three URIs are equivalent:

       http://abc.com:80/~smith/home.html
       http://ABC.com/%7Esmith/home.html
       http://ABC.com:/%7esmith/home.html
 }}}
