AFAIK, the only way to do it is to have a mod_rewrite rule in the scene. You can do it like this (in your httpd.conf or .htaccess):
RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/users/(.+) /~$1 That means, anytime an URL looks like http://example.com/users/johndoe, the actual request will get rewritten to http://example.com/~johndoe. By the way, I didn't test the rule above, so you can expect some errors. The "URL Rewriting Guide" from Apache 2.0 documentation contains several examples that can help any possible corrections. -- Julio C.
