[PATCH] mod_speling
Hello,
This is a followup to a (very) old thread about mod_speling on the
httpd-dev list:

It appears that patch was never sent to the apache developers'
community, but we have actually been using it on the W3C Web site for
many years, where it has allowed us to enable mod_speling for user
convenience, without creating too huge a volume of phantom URIs.
I have recently dug up the patch, and adapted it for each major
version of the apache httpd server (based on the sources for the
1.3.6, 2.0.58 and 2.2.2 releases). The three patch files are attached
to this mail.
Would it be possible to have these applied to the code tree? If so, I
guess there would be documentation changes, as well, and I would be
more than happy to help with those, too.
Kind regards,
olivier.

Sure. The patch is attached in this mail, but if I understand
correctly, it should rather be sent to docs@httpd ?
How about translations? Is there any process to ensure that the
localized versions will remain up to date? Or should I take care of
that, too?
Thanks,

This looks fine, but can you add a patch to the docs? The feature
isn't useful if nobody knows it's there.
Thanks,
