Hi Nick, kxepal would be better to give you details on the status of the new rewrite function, but to my best knowledge the code is to be found here:
https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/370 <https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/370> https://github.com/apache/couchdb-couch/pull/127 <https://github.com/apache/couchdb-couch/pull/127> https://github.com/apache/couchdb-chttpd/pull/96 <https://github.com/apache/couchdb-chttpd/pull/96> https://github.com/apache/couchdb-couch-mrview/pull/36 <https://github.com/apache/couchdb-couch-mrview/pull/36> Another discussion that you might be interested in if you want to use the couch web server directly and not behind a server is this discussion http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-couchapp/201511.mbox/%3ccahw0xrtu8npjbr3%2bvvwysp5t2f%2by4w_zbdavpj_8bjnu4qd...@mail.gmail.com%3E <http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-couchapp/201511.mbox/%3ccahw0xrtu8npjbr3+vvwysp5t2f+y4w_zbdavpj_8bjnu4qd...@mail.gmail.com%3E> For now my workaround for multi request was to use a global handler to point to a small node.js query server that execute code stored in a couch db. This way it's not problem to include multi request with promise chains etc as part of the routes in the new rewrite function, translate to the "backend" server the returns the composite content, or e.g. respons from a web service that you called or scraped content with some of your own data added and. The return can be served with your own html template. I hear echoes from earlier discussions about couchapps in the back of my head now: So why this workaround to avoid a proxy in front? The backend service is just one for all your servers/sites, totally generic since all the data reside in couch This means that your systems can be replicated, all of it (apart from the web services attached of course), not just the data, e.g. if you want to use couchdb as a platform to deploy sites in one click You can work in the incredibly well designed IDE for couch, Ddoc Lab, that you can find here http://ddoc.me/ <http://ddoc.me/>. This is awsome, dont be fooled by the clean UI. It replaces a lot of tools when you get into it, and it gives you a whole new perspective on "couchapps" ( I use the terms "Ddco lab", "couch site" and "design document" to avoid confusion). johs > On 16. apr. 2016, at 00.45, Nick <oinksoc...@letterboxes.org> wrote: > > On 15/04/16 16:29, Johs Ensby wrote: >> Hi Nick, >> the revolution comes with a new rewrite function (path list is not a static, >> but a function that can return path, status code, body, headers based on the >> request object en user environment.
