Matt Goodall commented on COUCHDB-228:
--------------------------------------
By "unnecessarily", I merely meant that database.html doesn't always need to
access the config. For instance, if viewPath is one of _all_docs or
_design_docs there's no need to populate the view editor at all. However, it
would be really nice if the view editor was disabled/simplified if the user
isn't in the 'admins' list.
Never tried this, but it ought to be possible to suppress the auth prompt by
first sending a HEAD request to the view's design doc and inspecting the
response's "Allow" header. If PUT is an allowed method then the view is
editable and a full editor view can be displayed, including the list of
languages. The CouchDB backend then just needs to send "Allow: GET, HEAD" for
non-admins and "Allow: GET, HEAD, PUT" admins. You never know, it might work
;-).
