Chris Anderson commented on COUCHDB-230: ---------------------------------------- not worrying about stomping on database names (Eg by allowing admins to vhost */foo = /foo/_design/foo/_rewrite ) I think is OK. I'm not sure about the $stuff, if only because that adds an entire new level of complexity to the implementation. one thing I like about the implementation now is how simple it is. > Add Support for Rewritable URL > ------------------------------ > > Key: COUCHDB-230 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-230 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Patrick Aljord > Fix For: 1.0.2 > > > It would be good if couchdb would allow to rewrite urls so that instead of > having to write that: > http://127.0.0.1:5984/blogdb/_design/sofa/account.html > I could just write: > http://127.0.0.1:5984/blogdb/account > It could be done with the web server but having the rewritten rules in the db > would make it a bit easier for replication so we don't have to write the > rules on each web server where a db gets replicated. > Here are a few propositions from davisp: > <davisp> alisdair: how so? rewriting urls should be in _design documents, > since they're in _design docs they should be limited to per db namespaces > <davisp> bobesponja: I don't know that anyone has looked at it seriously, but > my first guess is that we'd just make a _design/doc "urls" member that's a > list of regex's and targets as is fairly standard practice > <davisp> bobesponja: or perhaps, regex's -> erlang handler > <davisp> the second might not be as fun -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
