           Summary: mod_rewrite incorrectly expands userdir URLs?
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.54
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_rewrite
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: alex@weej.com


Example: 

http://localhost/~alex/testsite/blahblahblah

I have a .htaccess file in /home/alex/public_html/testsite that reads:

RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /~alex/testsite
RewriteRule ^(.*?)$ url-handler.php

Now according to the manual:

"The RewriteBase directive explicitly sets the base URL for per-directory
rewrites. As you will see below, RewriteRule can be used in per-directory config
files (.htaccess). There it will act locally, i.e., the local directory prefix
is stripped at this stage of processing and your rewriting rules act only on the
remainder. At the end it is automatically added back to the path."

If I leave the RewriteBase uncommented, I get this: "The requested URL
/home/alex/public_html/testsite/url-handler.php was not found on this server."

Seems like some funny behaviour. Please correct me if I am wrong but this setup
works flawlessly with addresses without the ~ as far as I can tell.

Cheers
