> The following is a very small patch to Apache 1.1.  It alows /~user to
> be sent, as is, to a different server.  The 1.1 UserDir directive
> allows /~user to be redirected to specific URL on the remote server,
> but not to user the remote server's idea to /~user.  That is to say
> you can send /~user to "http://www.x.com/web/user", but not to
> "http://www.x.com/~user".
> 
> With this patch, if the UserDir is on a remote host, and ends in "~",
> the rest of the URL is passed on with out inserting a "/".  Thus
> 
> UserDir http://www.x.org/~
> 
> redirect "GET /~user/foo.html" to:
> 
> http://www.x.org/~user/foo.html
> 
> Without the patch it would be redirected to
> 
> http://www.x.org/~/user/foo.html
