Coming from #3523267: ActivityPub server not searchable with Nginx, I noticed that when a webfinger request searches for an actor, the matching is case sensitive.

E.g, this https://hybridized-concepts.com/.well-known/webfinger?resource=cwsmith@h...
does not work, where as with CWSmith@hybridized-concepts.com it does.

which makes me wonder: is this a bug, or by design? How do other AP software handle this, or is there anything in the spec about this?

Important! webfinger tries to load the http://webfinger.net/rel/profile-page href based on that username, but it looks it up by matching a drupal user, which might be completely wrong!
