My English alter-ego

Did you mean: mod_speling

Posted by Jorge Bernal November 22, 2006

I didn’t know about this one. Funny thing I mispelled the mispelled name of a spell checker.

The real name is mod_speling and documentation describes itself as

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 without regard to case, and allowing up to one misspelling (character insertion / omission / transposition or wrong character). A list is built with all document names which were matched using this strategy.

I’ll have to try this somewhere.

BTW, I found this on Stupid htaccess Tricks in case you want to check that too
