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. Erroneous extension can also be fixed by this module.
If, after scanning the directory,

Choices).

When set, this directive extends the action of the spelling correction
to the file name extension. For example a file foo.gif will
match a request for foo or foo.jpg. This can be
particularly useful in conjunction with
MultiViews.
