/* mod_speling.c - by Alexei Kosut <[email protected]> June, 1996
 *
 * This module is transparent, and simple. It attempts to correct
 * misspellings of URLs that users might have entered, namely by checking
 * capitalizations. If it finds a match, it sends a redirect.
 *
 * Sep-1999 Hugo Haas <[email protected]>
 * o Added a CheckCaseOnly option to check only miscapitalized words.
 *
 * 08-Aug-1997 <[email protected]>
 * o Upgraded module interface to apache_1.3a2-dev API (more NULL's in
 *   speling_module).
 * o Integrated tcsh's "spelling correction" routine which allows one
 *   misspelling (character insertion/omission/typo/transposition).
 *   Rewrote it to ignore case as well. This ought to catch the majority
 *   of misspelled requests.
 * o Commented out the second pass where files' suffixes are stripped.
 *   Given the better hit rate of the first pass, this rather ugly
 *   (request index.html, receive index.db ?!?!) solution can be
 *   omitted.
 * o wrote a "kind of" html page for mod_speling
 *
 * Activate it with "CheckSpelling On"
