Whenever I go to YouTube or any website at all, it doesn’t matter if I write the website name in lowercase letters or uppercase letters, I will land on the same website. But whenever we go to a video and even replace 1 letter with lowercase or uppercase, the link doesn’t work.
How does the URL know that one section is not case-sensitive while the other section is case-sensitive?
I can understand why that’s the case. To keep the URLs unique. just in case something similar comes up. But what’s happening behind the scenes?

When your nan sends you a card for your birthday the man at her post office will send it through to your town because he knows that this is a town. This is like the “YouTube.com” bit. When it gets to your town your postman gets it but if she’s written your street wrong he won’t be able to find your house. This is what YouTube do when it gets to them and you’ve put the unique part wrong. If the card has the right town and street then it’ll get to your house for your birthday. This is the same as if you’ve written it all right and YouTube know what video you’d like to watch.
