tilde in image path (url encoding problem) (1 post)

    I've installed WPMU on a server where I have a tilde (~) in the url. The problem seems to be when I upload an image, the image uploads fine and also displays in the file browser. If I send this to the editor it shows up fine in the editor, until I save or publish the post. But if I then view the post the image appears to be missing.
    The path for this image is: http://kudevoes.kingston.ac.uk/%7Emartin/wordpressmu/files/2007/01/cover0.jpg

    If I put in the image path by hand using the image button in the editor, the image displays fine in the post.The path for this image is: http://kudevoes.kingston.ac.uk/~martin/wordpressmu/files/2007/01/cover0.jpg

    There seems to be a problem with the urlencoding of the tilde in the image path. Is there a way of turning the encoding off?

    Thanks for your help!
