I suspect that using -noinherit options don't mix very well with
wildcard *. I belive that there is no simple solution other that
ns_register_proc GET {/~*} tilde_redirect
but it does more than you probably want.
Maybe you should look at ns_register_dir module from Zjednoczenie.com
AOLserver 3.x distro from http://miniacs.zjednoczenie.com/download/nsdz6.tgz
It is based on example from older AOLserver docs which can be found here:
http://www.tcl.tk/man/aolserver3.0/c-app2.htm.
It supports general url -> directory mapping but also mappings /~user to
user home directory.
Module ns_register_dir, after enhancements, was finally renamed to
ns_url2file which I've described in my proposal sent to the list a few
weeks ago. It could be reached at:
http://miniacs.zjednoczenie.com/download/vserv2.tgz
