Futon breaks when used with a reverse proxy
-------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-321
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-321
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Administration Console
Affects Versions: 0.9
Environment: Affects all platforms.
Reporter: Jack Moffitt
Priority: Minor
Attachments: futon.patch
It is often convenient to reverse proxy CouchDB at a url like /couch.
Unfortunately, while CouchDB will work perfectly in this situation, Futon
cannot handle it as jquery.couch.js uses absolute URLs to access all CouchDB
functions.
I've attached a small patch that fixes this problem by:
1. Adding a urlPrefix attribute to $.couch which it uses to construct its URLs.
2. Adding logic to the futon.js constructor that figures out a suitable prefix
and sets $.couch.urlPrefix to use this.
Any client code that makes use of $.couch will need to do something similar.
Since only the application and the adminstrator will know what the prefix
should be or how to deduce it, I didn't really know of a better way to handle
this.
