HTTP status code when recreating a database
-------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-117
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-117
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: HTTP Interface, Test Suite
Affects Versions: 0.9
Environment: Mac OS X 10.4.11
Reporter: Michael Hendricks
Priority: Minor
Attachments: 0001-Status-code-when-creating-a-database-twice.patch
If one accidentally tries to create a database when a database by that name
already exists, CouchDB trunk (tested at revision 691322) responds with a 500
status code. In slightly older versions of the trunk, the response code was
409 and the error message helpfully indicated that a database by that name
already exists.
I'll attach a patch that restores the 409 code and error message. I submitted
this patch to the developer's mailing list on August 23rd. It appears not to
have been noticed by the core developers, so I'm re-posting it here.
