<H2>Summary</H2>
|
|
<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,
|
|
<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.

><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. Prior to
|
|
Apache 1.3.2, the <SAMP>CheckSpelling</SAMP> directive was only available
|
|
in the "server" and "virtual host" contexts.
|
|
<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 <SAMP><Location /status></SAMP> may get incorrectly treated
|
|
as the negotiated file "<SAMP>/stats.html</SAMP>".
