Source File: | mod_speling.c |
Requests to documents sometimes cannot be served by the core apache server because the request was misspelled or miscapitalized. This module addresses this problem by trying to find a matching document, even after all other modules gave up. It does its work by comparing each document name in the requested directory against the requested document name without regard to case, and allowing up to one misspelling (character insertion / omission / transposition or wrong character). A list is built with all document names which were matched using this strategy. Erroneous extension can also be fixed by this module.

Module: | mod_speling |
Compatibility: | Available in httpd 2.5.0 and later |
When set, this directive extends the action of the spelling correction
to the file name extension. For example a file foo.gif
will
match a request for foo
or foo.jpg
. This can be
particularly useful in conjunction with
MultiViews.

), just file names or
directory names.<Location /status>
may
get incorrectly treated as the negotiated file
"/stats.html
".mod_speling
should not be enabled in DAV
enabled directories, because it will try to "spell fix" newly created
resource names against existing filenames, e.g., when trying to upload
a new document doc43.html
it might redirect to an existing
document doc34.html
, which is not what was intended.
