Custom RPC URL fails with uppercase HTTP

[epeschier]

Bounty: MetaMask should connect to Ganache (or any custom RPC) reliably whether the user inputs HTTP or http.

---

I found this bug while testing on a private network with Ganache.
If you start Ganache and copy-paste the RPC Server address "HTTP://127.0.0.1:7545" (note the uppercase HTTP) then you will get a balance of 0 in Metamask for the accounts.
Change the server address to lowercase http://127.0.0.1:7545 then it works.

I've met the same problem, too. It's really interesting...=_=

in 4.6.1 it's just connecting infinitely, and after restart MM is dead, it opens white popup, restart doesn't help , and no errors in logs :(

Connecting to HTTP://127.0.0.1:7454 also displays my mainnet balance even though I'm on a custom RPC option.

Seems like the UI updates to "Custom RPC" while actually staying on Mainnet
