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 <STRONG>without regard to case</STRONG>, and allowing - <STRONG>up to one misspelling</STRONG> (character insertion / omission - / transposition or wrong character). A list is built with all document - names which were matched using this strategy. - </P> - <P> - If, after scanning the directory, - <UL> - <LI>no matching document was found, Apache will proceed as usual - and return a "document not found" error. - <LI>only one document is found that "almost" matches the request, - then it is returned in the form of a redirection response. - <LI>more than one document with a close match was found, then - the list of the matches is returned to the client, and the client - can select the correct candidate. - </UL> - </P> - - <H2>Directives</H2> - - <MENU> - <LI><A HREF="#checkspelling">CheckSpelling</A> - </MENU> - - <HR> <!-- the HR is part of the directive description --> - <H2><A NAME="checkspelling">CheckSpelling</A></H2> - <!--%plaintext <?INDEX {\tt CheckSpelling} directive> --> - <A - HREF="directive-dict.html#Syntax" - REL="Help" - ><STRONG>Syntax:</STRONG></A> CheckSpelling <EM>on/off</EM><BR> - <A - HREF="directive-dict.html#Default" - REL="Help" - ><STRONG>Default:</STRONG></A> <CODE>CheckSpelling Off</CODE><BR> - <A - HREF="directive-dict.html#Context" - REL="Help" - ><STRONG>Context:</STRONG></A> server config, virtual host, - directory, .htaccess<BR> - <A - HREF="directive-dict.html#Override" - REL="Help" - ><STRONG>Override:</STRONG></A> Options - <BR> - <A - HREF="directive-dict.html#Status" - REL="Help" - ><STRONG>Status:</STRONG></A> Base<BR> - <A - HREF="directive-dict.html#Module" - REL="Help" - ><STRONG>Module:</STRONG></A> mod_speling<BR> - <A - HREF="directive-dict.html#Compatibility" - REL="Help" - ><STRONG>Compatibility:</STRONG></A> CheckSpelling was available as a - separately - available module for Apache 1.1, but was limited to miscapitalizations. - As of Apache 1.3, it is part of the Apache distribution.
