Hi Guys,
I was wondering if anyone could help me out.
I am planning to offer software in my site that has affiliate tracking and in order to track downloads and campaings it needs the ~wavy sign to be configured to the httpdconf.
In order to track effectively the affiliate the link should be like the below one:
http://www.mysite.com/~2323232
Unfortunately I have prepaid 12 months in advance for my host and they told me they cant configure the httpdconf to use the ~wavy sign because it is currently used by another program in the server.
So If I want to use the above link with the ~wavy sign for example it will appear like a broken link to visitors due to the current server configuration.
I was wondering if it will be possible to bypass the problem with a php code or php script that will be able to do the redirect. What I have in mind is if the script can redirect like in way like the 2 links below and the links stay in the browsers addressbar while the visitor browses my site, then the tracking of the software downloads should work.

http://www.mysite.com/thescript.php~2323232
If anyone can help me out it will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
John
