<tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Compatibility">Compatibility:</a></th><td>CheckSpelling was available as a separately available
module for Apache 1.1, but was limited to miscapitalizations. As
of Apache 1.3, it is part of the Apache distribution. Prior to Apache
1.3.2, the <code>CheckSpelling</code> directive was only available in the
"server" and "virtual host" contexts.</td></tr>

<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><Location /status></code> may
get incorrectly treated as the negotiated file
"<code>/stats.html</code>".</li>
</ul>
<p>mod_speling 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.
