URL Spell Checking

The web server software on clam, crab, and www.camden (the main campus web server) will correct minor errors in URLs.  Minor errors include single-character typos, transposed characters, and upper/lower case mistakes.

For example, if someone tried to view this page and entered the URL incorrectly:

http://www.camden.rutgers.edu/help/Internet/spellcheck.php

The web server software would be able to correct the case error direct the person's browser to the actual URL:

http://www.camden.rutgers.edu/HELP/Internet/spellcheck.php

Other examples of correctable URL spelling errors include:

http://www.camden.rutgers.edu/HELP/Internet/spelcheck.php

(missing an "l" in spellcheck.php)

or:

http://www.camden.rutgers.edu/HELP/Internte/spellcheck.php

(the "t" and "e" are transposed in Internet)

While the server software is able to compensate for errors like those described above it does not perform spell-checking like a word processor does.  Major spelling errors, where entire words are spelled incorrectly, are beyond its ability to fix.
