Thank you for your kind way of telling me I was doing it wrong! :-)
Until chrisz@' commit (and when I'm running -current), I'll fudge the
directory structure by creating symbolic links:
location "/~*" {
root "/htdocs/users"
}
Then in /htdocs/users, for each user's directory:
drwxr-xr-x 2 1017 www 512 Mar 4 2013 user1
drwxr-x--x 5 1009 www 1024 Jul 20 2013 user2
..
drwxr-x--x 6 1004 www 512 May 30 2014 userN
I do:
$ ln -s user1 ./~user1
$ ln -s user2 ./~user2
..
$ ln -s userN ./~userN
This seems indeed to do the (ugly) trick.
Many thanks for the super quick reply!
