I was playing around with a post that someone had send over from
a bug report.

Weird thing... okay, if you do

Alias /~ /usr/www/people

And try to access

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/~aram/ <-- It doesn't work...
but if you try:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/~ <-- Give you the list of
directories in the
/usr/www/people directory?!?

Could this be a problem in the strip trailing '/' function?

Nope, it still wants /~ as a page itself... so if you do

http://xxx.xxx.xx.x/~/Aram Then it would work.

Would this work if you did:

Alias /~ /user/www/people/

So http://foo/~bar -> [http://foo]/usr/www/people/bar
