Is upper-case in file names alright?

I assumed that the file name and/or URL should be in lower case. Ex: xyz.com/angelina_jolie.jpg However I see in search results that there are many file names in upper case Ex: Angelina Jolie.jpg. Also there are spaces between the file name. Can somebody clear my doubts?

    The URL is not case sensitive.

    No spaces allowed.

    URLs ARE case-sensitive.

    From w3.org http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-html40-970708/htmlweb.html:
    URLs in general are case-sensitive (with the exception of machine names). There may be URLs, or parts of URLs, where case doesn't matter, but identifying these may not be easy. Users should always consider that URLs are case-sensitive.
    Accepted practice is to use lower case for any files having anything to do with the web.

    Spaces are allowed in file names, but not in URLs, so it's best practice to fill spaces with the hyphen or underscore character.
