This worked fairly well, except for one problem. Nginx has this internal behavior of fixing URL requests for directories so that they have a trailing slash. But when a rewrite rule was applied first, the fixed URL, presented to the web browser, was the rewritten location (with the trailing slash).

According to the nginx rewrite examples, "last" in the rewrite rule must be replaced by "break" if the location is given as above. Actually that change lead to a woring setup in my installation. Example (yes, i additionally adhered to the traditional public_html convention) : <code> location ~ /~([a-zA-Z0-9]*)/(.*) { # the [a-zA-Z0-9] is for the greedy . root /home/; ### autoindex on; index index.html; rewrite ^/~([a-zA-Z0-9]*)/(.*)$ /$1/public_html/$2 break; } </code> maybe You fix this for the other readers?
