Key: COUCHDB-335
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-335
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HTTP Interface
Environment: SVN trunk "0.10.0a768591"
Reporter: Brian Candler
Priority: Minor
Here are four more cases where malformed client requests can return "500
Internal Server Error" (as shown by curl -v) with an unhelpful diagnostic
message.
$ curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/test
{"ok":true}
$ curl -X POST -d '{"docs":[1,2,3]}' http://127.0.0.1:5984/test/_bulk_docs
{"error":"unknown_error","reason":"function_clause"}
### 500 Internal Server Error
$ curl -X POST -d '{"docs":{"foo":"bar"}}' http://127.0.0.1:5984/test/_bulk_docs
{"error":"unknown_error","reason":"function_clause"}
### 500 Internal Server Error
$ curl -X POST -d '[]' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
http://127.0.0.1:5984/test/_temp_view
{"error":"badmatch","reason":""}
### 500 Internal Server Error
$ curl -X POST -d '{}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
http://127.0.0.1:5984/test/_temp_view
{"error":"badmatch","reason":"{{nocatch,{compilation_error,<<\"expression does
not eval to a function. (undefined)\">>}},\n [{couch_os_process,prompt,2},\n
{couch_query_servers,'-start_doc_map/2-fun-0-',2},\n {lists,foreach,2},\n
{couch_query_servers,start_doc_map,2},\n
{couch_view_updater,view_compute,2},\n {couch_view_updater,update,1}]}"}
### 500 Internal Server Error
See also COUCHDB-320 which gives another way to elicit a 500:
curl -X POST -d '{"map":"function(){}"}' http://127.0.0.1:5984/test/_temp_view
{"error":"incorrect_mime_type","reason":"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"}
