Hi,
&nbsp;
Unfortunately, I have also found the HTTP TestStep UI converting things to lowercase to be a annoying issue! 
&nbsp;
One workaround is to use a property expansion to set the whole url (e.g. from a project level property) or just the parameters that are case sensitive, thus avoiding having to type the actual url into the HTTP Test Step editor - This is a similar post from a while ago (http://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Open-Source/In-HTTP-Test-Requests-only-it-appears-Request-URL-field-won-t/m-p/98371#M17497)
&nbsp;
In some cases others have edited the actual project XML file as a workaround!
&nbsp;
Hope this helps,
Rupert

Hi Tanya,
&nbsp;
I think it has already been added as an improvement request:
&nbsp;
http://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Feature-Requests/Allow-uppercase-in-URL-in-the-HTTP-Request-test-step/idi-p/105272
&nbsp;
I have just Kudoed that request, hopefully others will do the same.
&nbsp;
I have replied to 3 posts on this topic in my short time on the forum, so hopefully the team will approve it as a request. If they don't approve it, I think it would be really easy to fix in the source code, so maybe I should join the open-source team and volunteer to do the change myself! :-)
&nbsp;
Cheers,
Rup

version 5.3 fixes this issue. Now I can set a URL for HTTP request in UPPERCASE or lowercase or MiXeD case.&nbsp;

Hi Guys,
&nbsp;
I recommend that you submit this as a product improvement idea in our SoapUI Feature Requests forum. If this idea gets many votes, our team could consider implementing this feature.

Hi Tanya,&nbsp;I'm amazed more people haven't had this problem.I'm currently trying to send an HTTP request with a paramaterized value, however the default value for a project and test suite level paramater are Project and TestSuite respectively.&nbsp;Accordingly, all of my tests are unable to be paramaterized because SoapUI converts them to lower case and my paramaters aren't found. &nbsp;Is there a simple solution that doesn't require having test-level paramaters for each case?&nbsp;Thanks&nbsp;

As mentioned in the above replies, have you got chance to try with Property expansion to avoid / blocked by that issue?
