Apache mod_speling case insensitive URLs issue

Question

I want to have case insensitive URLs using Apache's mod_speling module, but this is producing unwanted lists of "multiple options" whilst the Apache documention says

When set, this directive limits the action of the spelling correction to lower/upper case changes. Other potential corrections are not performed.

I'm testing this on an Apache 2.2.16 Unix fresh install but I'm still running into exact the same problems as submitted in 2008.

It's unexpected (and not wanted) behaviour when Apache lists a few "multiple choices" (status code 300) when the checkCaseOnly directive is on!

I have this in my httpd.conf:

CheckSpelling on
CheckCaseOnly on

First directive to use the mod_speling, second directive to limit only to case corrections

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

To enable mod_speling (either by Location or VirtualHost) use the directive:

CheckSpelling On

If all you want is case insensitivity use:

CheckCaseOnly On

You also need to have RewriteEngine enabled:

RewriteEngine On
