+
+ <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,</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>

+ 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>&lt;Location /status&gt;</samp> may
+ get incorrectly treated as the negotiated file
+ "<samp>/stats.html</samp>".</li>
