Hi Alan,

Thanks for reaching out.

It looks like CouchDB had failed to parse the replication document,
and couldn't turn it into a proper replication job.

The 'undef' error could suggest running on an unsupported version of
Erlang. It's a generic "this function doesn't exist" error in Erlang.
Are you running on at least Erlang 20?

Does the target url have any unusual characters in it, or something
that might cause parsing errors (say, ':' or '@' characters for
example).

Would it be possible to have an example script which fails. Ideally, a
set of curl commands creating dbs, then the replication job using
similar parameters you had?

Cheers,
-Nick
