<h3>Summary</h3>
<p>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
<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,</p>
<ul>
<li>no matching document was found, Apache will proceed as
usual and return a "document not found" error.</li>
<li>only one document is found that "almost" matches the
request, then it is returned in the form of a redirection
response.</li>
<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.</li>
</ul>

Other potential corrections are not performed.</p>

<p>This directive enables or disables the spelling module. When
enabled, keep in mind that</p>
<ul>
<li>the directory scan which is necessary for the spelling
correction will have an impact on the server's performance
when many spelling corrections have to be performed at the
same time.</li>
<li>the document trees should not contain sensitive files
which could be matched inadvertently by a spelling
"correction".</li>
<li>the module is unable to correct misspelled user names (as
in <code>http://my.host/~apahce/</code>), just file names or
directory names.</li>
<li>spelling corrections apply strictly to existing files, so
a request for the <code>&lt;Location "/status"&gt;</code> may
get incorrectly treated as the negotiated file
"<code>/stats.html</code>".</li>
</ul>
<p>mod_speling should not be enabled in <a href="mod_dav.html">DAV</a>
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 <code>doc43.html</code> it might redirect to an existing
document <code>doc34.html</code>, which is not what was intended.
