johs opened a new issue #1407: Proxy bug in 2.1.1: httpd_global_handlers
{couch_httpd_proxy, handle_proxy_req,..}
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1407
Configuring a proxy like this in 2.1.1 will fail:
httpd_global_handlers
_google
{couch_httpd_proxy, handle_proxy_req, <<"http://www.google.com";>>}
## Expected Behavior
As described in http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.1.1/config/proxying.html
The proxy handler should map a pathname and pass all content after that
prefix through to the configured proxy address.
## Current Behavior
The proxy handler, in this example _google, will just return an error as if
it was a database name:
{"error":"unauthorized","reason":"You are not authorized to access this
db."}
first, then after login
{"error":"not_found","reason":"Database does not exist."}
## Workaround: port 5986
<!--- Not obligatory, but suggest a fix/reason for the bug, -->
<!--- or ideas how to implement the addition or change -->
According to Endy Jasmi in https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1054:
"Currently, after I have set the httpd_global_handlers, the proxy is working
on port 5986 but not working on port 5984."
