Add Support for Rewritable URL
------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-230
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-230
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Patrick Aljord
Fix For: 1.0
It would be good if couchdb would allow to rewrite urls so that instead of
having to write that:
http://127.0.0.1:5984/blogdb/_design/sofa/account.html
I could just write:
http://127.0.0.1:5984/blogdb/account
It could be done with the web server but having the rewritten rules in the db
would make it a bit easier for replication so we don't have to write the rules
on each web server where a db gets replicated.
Here are a few propositions from davisp:
<davisp> alisdair: how so? rewriting urls should be in _design documents, since
they're in _design docs they should be limited to per db namespaces
<davisp> bobesponja: I don't know that anyone has looked at it seriously, but
my first guess is that we'd just make a _design/doc "urls" member that's a list
of regex's and targets as is fairly standard practice
<davisp> bobesponja: or perhaps, regex's -> erlang handler
<davisp> the second might not be as fun
