Robert Newson resolved COUCHDB-1189.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
It sounds like our content type negotiation. We attempt to discover if the
client is using a browser. If so, we send a redirect to an html page. If no, we
send a 401 response code.
Please reopen if this behavior does not go away when you add "Accept:
application/json" to your request.
> 302 reported when it should say 'you are not a server or admin"
