[Zope] ~homepages in Zope

[Laurie Nason]

OK - I am not going to be running apache, so what I would like to do is to
catch the URL somehow with a ~ in it and then rewrite inside Zope to the
appropriate home page.

I thought of 2 ways of doing it, one being to try and use the Set Access
Rule - but I don't think that it does what I want. The other way I thought
of doing it was to trap the error in standard_error_message

Thanks for the advice so far, unfortunately we don't have apache running,
and I can't have the users folders in the root of the website.

I think that if you create folders in zope with names like /~username
it would work transparently.

The other possibility is to setup redirects for paths like that.

No I haven't, but I've thought about doing it.  I also need to find a
way to handle old-school CGI scripts.  (it's not a pressing need so
I've put it off for now)
