>Description:
here is the "300 Multiple Choice" message I get:
The document name you requested
(/course_info/course_info/schedules/medical.html)
could not be found on this server.
However, we found documents with names similar to the one you requested.
Available documents:
/course_info/course_info.html/schedules/medical.html (common basename)
The issue is that /course_info/course_info.html is a file which exist, but
it is not a directory. clicking on the proposed link returns a 404 error.
In this case, valid answers should be:
/course_info/course_info.html (this one would suit me)
or /course_info/schedules/medical.html (rather difficult to guess)
However, this mod_speling module is great !
Best regards
Marc
>How-To-Repeat:
See example above
Same whoud occure with /course_info/schedules/medical/html
It would return /course_info/schedules/medical.html/html
This is based on actual typos I found in my web log files.
>Fix:
When finding a matching file in place of a directory, remove anything after it.
