If anyone else has replied to this I must have missed it.

There is a difference between the Web root and the real root directory of
the machine.  As far as the Web user is concerned, the root of your machine
is something like /var/www or /home/www/htdocs, not /.  So the URL you are
giving above is /var/www/home/user/public_html.  The exception to this rule
is theat ~user is shorthand for /home/user/public_html.

PS. You're sending in HTML.  Don't do that.
