                 Key: COUCHDB-348
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-348
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: HTTP Interface
            Reporter: Chris Anderson
             Fix For: 0.10


As more people are adopting CouchDB, the number of questions along the lines of 
"All I see is {"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"0.10.0a773399"}, what now?"

If this page redirected to /_utils/ (or maybe something more user-focussed) 
when the accept headers included html, we could make the first-time user 
experience more palatable.

There's some code in COUCHDB-234 that might be helpful here.
