I think caseSensitive shouldn't be reset to false on any of these charecters,
but on any alpha character that follows. For example ||example.com/42 can be
case sensitive as well.

Done.

-          caseSensitive = false;
-        else if (!containsHostname &&
-                 i >= 2 && text[i-2] == ":" && text[i-1] == "/" && c == "/")

[Sebastian Noack, 2016/02/24 20:31:05]

I think it would make more sense to handle "/" separately and the fall through
to the code here:

case "/":
  if (!containsHostname && text.charAt(i-2) == ":"
                        && text.charAt(i-1) == "/")
    containsHostname = caseSensitive = true;

case "?":
case "*":
case "^":
  ...

[kzar, 2016/02/24 21:20:47]
