Hello. I've been trying to get couchdb to live happily behind under a
proxied URL like:
http://example.com/couchdb/
And having read through the user list and the instructions at
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Apache_As_a_Reverse_Proxy and
experimenting a fair bit, I am still at a loss for how to make it live
happily while deeper than root. Having it proxy to root still causes
problems, at least with futon and in some tests (using curl seems OK in
my very basic queries), and having it nested deeper causes futon lots of
grief. I'm sorry if I'm mixing up couchdb and futon, but for a new
user/admin, they are lumped together.
So I thought I would ask the dev list what (if any) plans are there to
have couchdb and futon live happily in a proxied environment -
particularly one that may be nesting it somewhere other than /. This
seems like a pretty fundamental requirement for something that aims to
play well with web admins, but maybe I'm an oddball. Or maybe you just
haven't gotten there yet. Anyway, since you guys seem to be trying to
lock a few design decisions down before 0.9, I thought I would bring
this up in the hopes that you won't close the door on this sort of use.
Thanks for your time and innovative software!

I had some success with running futon behind a reverse proxy..
My app is basically a java/spring/webmvc based app that uses jcouchdb
for data-storage. set up some mod_rewrite rules in apache for proxying
attachments directly and a rule to forward to a special java proxy
controller that can
a) do access control for the couchdb databases and
b) patch javascripts futon uses to change futon
apache site file http://fforw.de/static/files/markapp
JS File to change futon's behaviour to work behind a "/futon" prefix
http://fforw.de/static/files/jquery-futon-patch.js
Seemed to work fine so far.. wish I had more time to actually work on this..
