[texhax] help with making active url link

[Thomas Schneider]

Folks:

Could someone please create a WORKING example of a link to

http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~Gabriele.Nebe/LATTICES/density.html

using LaTeX with conversion to PDF?

I've tried
\usepackage{url}
and
\usepackage{html}

with

\url{http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/\~{}Gabriele.Nebe/LATTICES/density.html}

or

\htmladdnormallink
{http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/\~{}Gabriele.Nebe/LATTICES/density.html}
{http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/\~{}Gabriele.Nebe/LATTICES/density.html}

along with many variations but the links never work correctly in Skim
or Acrobat (after conversion to pdf).  They always break the url at
the '~' and then of course the link points to the wrong place.  The
documentation I've found such as

http://www.pd.infn.it/TeX/doc/html/latex2html/Hnode1.html

implies that this should have worked, but it doesn't.
