This looks fine, but can you add a patch to the docs? The feature
isn't useful if nobody knows it's there.
Thanks,

Hello,
This is a followup to a (very) old thread about mod_speling on the

Our thought was to add an option, (CheckSpelling CaseOnly, instead
of CheckSpelling on, or ...) that would have it automatically
redirect _only_ if it were a case correction
Yes, the proposal to even restrict the functionality to case
correction ONLY has been suggested a while ago. I would welcome
this,
too, because mod_speling can be misused to "poke around" and look
what other file are there
I coded that some time ago. I will send you the patch as soon as I
find it. :-)
It appears that patch was never sent to the apache developers'
community, but we have actually been using it on the W3C Web site
for many years, where it has allowed us to enable mod_speling for
user convenience, without creating too huge a volume of phantom URIs.
I have recently dug up the patch, and adapted it for each major
version of the apache httpd server (based on the sources for the
1.3.6, 2.0.58 and 2.2.2 releases). The three patch files are
attached to this mail.
Would it be possible to have these applied to the code tree? If so,
I guess there would be documentation changes, as well, and I would
be more than happy to help with those, too.
Kind regards,
olivier.
