Robert Newson resolved COUCHDB-1242.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 1.2
Passing non-strings will give a useful 400 Bad Request message rather than
silently do the wrong thing.
> Filtered replication silently converts all query parameters to strings

> Key: COUCHDB-1242
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1242
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.0.2, 1.1
> Reporter: Robert Newson
> Assignee: Robert Newson
> Fix For: 1.2
>
> Attachments:
> 0001-throw-400-bad_request-if-any-query_params-value-is-n.patch
>
>
> All filtered query params are silently converted to strings. this causes
> tests for if (req.query.foo) to evaluate to true even for
> {"query_params":{"foo":false}} because "false" is true.
> No clean solution exists to fix this as _changes has a GET entry point and
> request parameters are untyped.
> Suggested fix is to scan the query_params in handle_replicate_req and throw a
> 400 Bad Request if any value is not a JSON string.
