Add http handlers for root files with special meanings, such as crossdomain.xml.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-867
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-867
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HTTP Interface
Affects Versions: 1.0.1
Reporter: Eric Desgranges
Some files at the root level of a website have a special meaning, such as
favicon.ico storing the favorite icon, which is processed correctly in the
[httpd_global_handlers] section of the ini file with this instruction:
favicon.ico = {couch_httpd_misc_handlers, handle_favicon_req,
"../share/couchdb/www"}
But this is the only one handled while other files, which are critical when to
accessing the CouchDB server from Flash, Flex, Silverlight..., are missing
- crossdomain.xml (this one should be a top priority fix!)
- clientaccesspolicy.xml -- See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc838250%28v=VS.95%29.aspx#crossdomain_communication
And there's also 'robots.txt' to prevent search engines from accessing some
files / directories.
