Hi Max,
I use couch (2.1) in a sub dir via nginx as a proxy with the suggested conf you
mentioned in your first email. The only difference is that I turn off buffering
at the same level instead of filtering for “_changes” (I may change that). I
have attachments with “-“ , “_” and “ “ just not with “+”.
I tried adding a doc with a “+” and uploaded it via Fauxton. The “+“ in the
name is converted to a space (“ “) in the attachment listing of the respective
couch doc. If I try to retrieve the attachment directly, I can either use a
“%20” where the space is or also “+”. So it seems that the “+” is reserved as a
substitute for a space character and works but maybe not as expected. The other
chars should work as expected.
This is what works for me:
location /couchdb {
rewrite /couchdb/(.*) /$1 break;
proxy_pass http://localhost:5984;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_buffering off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
