Can we all please take a step back and talk about what problem this solves? Benoit, your work is *excellent* however on behalf of couchdb administrators, I must say, these proposed vhost rules look complicated, and difficult or impossible to support in a reverse-proxy environment. What exactly is the problem that vhosts and _rewrite cannot solve? I have no final opinion. However I think a CouchApp or Futon feature which manages vhosts might be better, long-term, despite being more work to implement at this time. -- Jason Smith Couchio Hosting
