Hi,
as Alp Toker pointed out on IRC URI schemes should be handled case insensitive
but all URI schemes we return should be lower case:

<alp>    specify schemes must do so with lowercase letters.  An implementation
<alp>    should accept uppercase letters as equivalent to lowercase in scheme
<alp>    names (e.g., allow "HTTP" as well as "http") for the sake of
<alp>    robustness but should only produce lowercase scheme names for
<alp>    consistency.
<alp> section 3.1 of RFC 3986

Not sure which code this bug affects, at least filesrc and filesink do a case
sensitive check for "file".
