--- Comment #6 from Josh <jd...@grantstream.com> ---
I'm experiencing this issue in version 2.2.17.

My config:
<IfModule mod_speling.c>
CheckCaseOnly On
CheckSpelling On
</IfModule>


Example:
1. Navigate to non-existing resource -
https://[URL]/js/jquery.ui.monthpicker.js

2. Results in 300 Multiple Choices - Similar documents found with a single
folder found -  /js/jQuery (common basename) 


I have reviewed the source of mod_speling.c from version 2.2.15 up to 2.3-trunk
and there has been no change/patch implemented; all versions are affected.

If CheckCaseOnly was 'Off' I'd expect this result; however with it set to 'On'
this is incorrect behavior and goes against what CheckCaseOnly implies.

In addition, I like Rainer's suggestion of making WANT_BASENAME_MATCH a
configuration directive with support for context; as this would be a great
addition to this module. It could be defaulted to On/true for backward
compatibility and allow for those experiencing issues to set it accordingly.
