[Web4lib] help with an Apache redirect

[steven turner]

Hi All -

In Apache, I've been trying to write a redirect to perform a simple  
regex URL rewrite  using Mod_Redirect and/or Mod_Rewrite on a client  
request string, but I can't seem to get it to work...

I'm simply trying to replace the sub-string "/~"  (that's a backslash  
and a tilde) with the substring "/legacy" in this example/theoretical  
URL: "http://www.lib.usm.edu/~spcol/folderName/pageTitlle.php"

Any takers out there? Help on this would be greatly appreciated, as  
it's been a bugbear for me for quite some time - can't have users  
ending up in deprecated places all the time...

Thanks

Steve
