+<h3>Summary</h3>
+
+
+ <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. <strong>Erroneous extension</strong> can also be fixed
+ by this module.</p>
+
+ <p>If, after scanning the directory,</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>no matching document was found, Apache will proceed as
+ usual and return an error (<code>404 - document not found</code>).</li>
+
+ <li>only one document is found that "almost" matches the
+ request, then it is returned in the form of a redirection
+ response (<code>301 - Moved Permanently</code>).</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 (<code>300 - Multiple
+ Choices</code>).</li>
+ </ul>

+ <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 <code>&lt;Location /status&gt;</code> may
+ get incorrectly treated as the negotiated file
+ "<code>/stats.html</code>".</li>
+ </ul>
+
+
+ <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_speling.html">mod_speling</a></code> should not be enabled in <a href="mod_dav.html">DAV</a>
+ enabled directories, because it will try to "spell fix" newly created
+ resource names against existing filenames, e.g., when trying to upload
+ a new document <code>doc43.html</code> it might redirect to an existing
+ document <code>doc34.html</code>, which is not what was intended.
