Re: [Webware-devel] [ webware-Bugs-643780 ] No PSP support for ~user/ directory

[Ian B. <ia...@co...>]

My recollection of user directories in Apache is that they are fairly
primitive -- essentially you're aliasing /~*/ to /home/*/public_html/

I assume the problem is because webkit-handler is being invoked prior to
the user directory rewriting.  Probably the fix is in how httpd.conf is
written, and the change to Webware is one of documentation.
