This is reverting commit
https://github.com/apache/couchdb/commit/ecb23f5af2d0f7d2277265dcacf6c0c49d0d1f16
which deliberately switched this behavior.
The timeline is;
a) the pre-ecb23f5af2 exists
b) Cloudant copies couch_httpd to their (private) chttpd repository (Mon
Feb 7 14:48:59 2011)
c) ecb23f5af2 changes the logic (Mon May 23 06:39:47 2011)
At no point does chttpd get the merge up from ecb23f5af2 for this change,
so it is behind, rather than ahead of couch_httpd.
Whichever way we go, chttpd.erl and couch_httpd.erl should do the same
thing. It's not clear which of the two behaviors that is.
-1 until this is resolved.
