In "README.connection_strings.txt" there is written:
-----
Where protocol is one of: INET (means TCP), WNET (means named pipes) or XNET (means shared memory).
Examples:
    inet://192.168.0.11//db/mydb.fdb
    inet://192.168.0.11/C:\db\mydb.fdb

To me it looks like if both lowercase "inet" and uppercase "INET" are allowed.
However only lowercase variant works (at least on Windows):

CONNECT 'inet4://localhost/E:\DATABASE\db.FDB'; -> OK
CONNECT 'INET4://localhost/E:\DATABASE\db.FDB'; -> Unable to complete network request to host "INET4".

Can the document be enhanced?

I also looked at PDF "Connection Strings in Firebird 3 by Helen Borrie & Vlad Khorsun" where are examples like
INET://winserver:d:/databases/mydatabase.fdb

so ... did older FB3 actually support uppercase INET?
