alisdair sullivan commented on COUCHDB-245:
-------------------------------------------
The use of regexp in mochiweb is just in the app skeleton, as far as I can tell
it's not actually used anywhere by couch. It doesn't hurt to report it upstream
though.
I'd thought couch was targetting R12B-5 and above, but if it needs to run on
previous versions, we should provide a module that wraps re and regexp and uses
the appropriate module on the appropriate runtime version.
> Couch uses the erlang stdlib module regexp, which is deprecated and set to be
> removed. It should use the module re instead.

> Couch uses the erlang stdlib module regexp, which is deprecated and set to be
> removed. It should use the module re instead. re is not a drop in replacement
> for regexp, it operates on and returns binary strings instead of native
> strings.
> Affects files couch_config.erl, couch_config_writer.erl, couch_httpd.erl,
> couch_httpd_server.erl, couch_log.erl and couch_server.erl.
