I can't believe I forgot mod_rewrite. You could use regex to
convert each incoming request to lowercase. Then conditionally log
to the ReWrite log so you can get any referrers that are
problematic. External referrals can be ignored, and internal can be
fixed.
At least bookmarks and google cache will continue to work.

only have it check case, it seems it is either on, or off, is that
correct?

Try to do all the searching and replacing to make the site work
without mod_spelling
Enable some sort of logging in the mod_spelling module [ I don't
think this exists :-( ]
Use the logged information to help you fix problems in the code at
your leisure.
Then, when you stop seeing stuff in your log, turn off the feature.
What's good about this is I think the mod_spelling really only
takes up extra CPU every time it has to go looking for an "almost"
match. So you won't have much overhead with mod_spelling on if
most of your links use the right file name.

There is a lot of code, I hate to turn mod_spelling on, but you
know how it is, we will do all the searching and replacing and
testing, and we will miss a few, and have issues. Like when we
migrated to mysql, we changed all the code, and tested
everything, but we had stuff we chased for a couple of weeks. So
I think I will bite the bullet, and either enable mod spelling,
or change our system to have the site files on a actual windows
share, not an smb share on a linux server.

hard is it to fix your code? Just make everything lowercase and
do some searching and replacing.

Moving from windows or mac webserving to IIS can be a bummer if
you always ignored case.
In the past, I got around this, but using a SMB share, and
mounting on the web server, and it would be case insensitive,
but with the new fedora 5, and the new cifs client, it
recognizes the smb share is on a linux server, and apache is
still serving with case sensitivity. Has anyone else dealt with
this? Is the only other method to use the mod_spelling module?
I don't want to put the share on an actual windows server.
Thx.
