Title:
  Uppercase URL causes web search

Status in Web Browser App:
  In Progress
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Using krilin build 20.

  In the browser, I enter the URL HTTP://www.ubuntu.com.

  Expected behaviour: fixes case, takes me to Ubuntu website.

  Actual behaviour: does a Google search for "HTTP://www.ubuntu.com".

  Impact: it's awkward to scan QR codes that give me URLs in all caps,
  which is how I discovered the issue.

  Workaround: edit the HTTP to http manually. But after the Google
  search, editing the URL is awkward because the URL changes to one
  suitable for the Google search.
