transparent mod_speling
Hey guys,
currently mod_speling does a redirect to the correct
resource.
Now we have the problem that a legacy client implementation
does not support redirects *sigh* ...so I was wondering
whether it would be possible to add support for serving
the correct resource transparently - without a redirect.
From a brief look into the mod_speling source code
I could not tell right away.
If you guys think it's possible and makes some sense
I could maybe invest some time implementing it...
Any comments appreciated!
cheers

I think it is completely possible, and easy to implement.

Look at mod_dir, it's the most trivial example; which
performs external redirects (/dir -> /dir/) and internal
redirects (/dir -> /dir/index.html)
