CCGI server and URLs with Capital Letters

I have a site hosted on the CCGI server (www.scsc.org.uk) which works fine. Since SCSC is an initialism I often put it use links with capitals such as "www.SCSC.org.uk" so that it stands out. This also works fine on IE, Firefox, Chrome & Safari and I note that the returned page is always converted back to lower case but I'm not sure whether this is done my the client on requesting the page or by the server on returning the page.
So far, so good.
When browsing from my Android phone the capital letters seem to get preserved, which should be okay because domain names are not case sensitive, but I get back a page that just says "It works!". I can't find where this text might be coming from it isn't in any page on the site. Any idea what's going on or how to get the CCGI server to respond correctly?
I tried a similar test on the HTTP server and that responds correctly to any capitalisation of the domain name.

I can't get through on the phone and it takes two days to get a response to a comment raised on a question.
How do I get PN to repair their fix?

Normal service has been restored, and it seems that someone has actually fixed the underlying problem on the server virtual host mapping not supporting uppercase domain names.
Success.
Though it would be nice if there were a way of shouting for help other than through the forum.

I've just been informed by one of our Operations team that this has now been fixed. I've tested it myself and I'm happy with the solution.
