Circa 1990... Here's something new: an actual computer-related item.
If you use an Apache-based web server, and want to have the luxury of not having to remember exactly
how you spelled your file names, download my PHP
404 handler today.
The requirements are:
1) You can execute PHP scripts.
2) You allow shell_exec() to run in scripts. Some security-focused people don't allow that.
I tested this against one filename containing spaces, and it worked THAT time.
Examples:
Mike.jpg
- if you hover over the link for a moment, you'll see that it points to MiKe.JpG but you'll
get Mike.jpg back. The correct file name is always sent.
NotHere.jpg
- Not there, and you'll be told so.
Foxtrot2.jpg - There are two copies of the file, spelled with different combinations of upper and lower
case letters. You will be allowed to pick which one you want.
There's no charge for this. I was annoyed that the inexpensive server I'm on now required me to type the
file names correctly, so I fixed it. I think everyone should use this if they are as annoyed as I was. It
also might help keep links intact over the long-term, so reports back to me about what it may need to have
fixed would be nice. Or just fix it and let me know what you did. Just don't sell it!
