> Key: COUCHDB-676
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-676
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Infrastructure
> Affects Versions: 0.11
> Reporter: Andrew Straw
> Fix For: 1.2, 1.3
>
>
> I modified the example given in the ExternalProcesses wiki page to return
> exactly the request line and queried the external process with both a
> trailing slash ( http://127.0.0.1:5984/test/_test/ ) and no trailing slash (
> http://127.0.0.1:5984/test/_test ). The request line is exactly the same for
> these two cases.
> This is problematic because external processes may treat these cases
> differently. For example, Django's CommonMiddleware class redirects any
> "path" to "path/" if there is a view at "path/" but not at "path", which is
> usually the case for a default view of a Django app. When using Django with
> couchdb-wsgi, this results in an infinite redirect loop because although
> Django issues a redirect to "path/", couchdb-wsgi emits "path" as the path.
