I can not open the image, but I can say something in general about the tilde.
The tilde "~" is an unreserved character and therefore it can be replaced by its percent-encoded form "%7E" inside a URI without changing meaning. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding
According to section 2.3 of RFC3986 we should prefer the unencoded form so this behavior seems to be a bit out-dated.
