The format of your design document is wrong. You need to have the view
defined using specific json structure like in the example here: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/HttpViewApi

When I remove the text/ prefix I still get the 500 error, and the

application/json is not a defined query language. Is my POST supposed
to have Content-Type application/json or text/javascript? I see a mix
of both here:
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Views
"Temporary views are not stored in the database, but rather executed
on demand. To execute a temporary view, you make an HTTP POST request
to the URI /{dbname}/_temp_view, where the body of the request
contains the code of the view function and the Content-Type header is
set to text/javascript. "
OR
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/HttpViewApi
"Ad Hoc Views
One-off queries (eg. views you don't want to save in the CouchDB
database) can be done via the special view _temp_view:
POST /some_database/_temp_view HTTP/1.0
Content-Length: 48
Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2007 17:11:10 +0200
Content-Type: application/json
{
"map" : "function(doc) { if (doc.foo=='bar') { emit(null,
doc.foo); } }"
}
"
Seems like conflicting info to accomplish the same thing.

I tried adding the "language" specifier, but no change. The
couch.ini
section you mentioned looks like this:
[Couch Query Servers]
text/javascript=/usr/local/bin/couchjs -f
/usr/local/share/couchdb/server/main.js
drop the "text/" prefix and try again,
thx,

Brad,
there's an (optional) parameter on view json. try this:
{
"language": "javascript",
"map" : "function(doc) { emit(null, doc); } "
}
although "javascript" is supposed to be the default, so it makes me
wonder if something else s the source of your error.
The problem could be with your couch.ini file -
/usr/local/etc/couchdb/couch.ini should have a line in
it like this
(which is also the default):
[Couch Query Servers]
javascript=/usr/local/bin/couchjs
/usr/local/share/couchdb/server/main.js

Chris: ah, yes I screwed up the URL, however I still get the 500

Jan, this is the correct format for an ad-hoc view, no? the page
you
linked me to is where I got the info.
BTW I can browse the database just fine with a web browser, and
the
default query runs ok in a browser as well.
Thanks

Brad,
It look like the url:
POST /product/_test_view HTTP/1.0
should be /product/_design/test_view (for a named view)
or /product/_temp_view
assuming your db name is product.
Hope that helps.
Chris
