Having sorted out my configuration, I still get the Missing response. This
is when I try to access CouchDb with Konqueror. Well I know that Konqueror
is not always fully supported, so I tried with Firefox, and it works. So I
guess that this is a Konqueror problem. Is there browser specific code
in CouchDb, and if so where.
The most obvious difference is that the request that goes across seems
to be marked as "GET /experiment/ {1,1}" which gets rejected, but with
Firefox it logs "GET /_utils/ {1,1}". So I guess that either the Javascript
code or the browser itself is getting the request wrong. The rest of the
headers looks reasonable.
