Benoit Chesneau commented on COUCHDB-404:
-----------------------------------------
You could still use relatives urls with this format but against db: they aren't
contained in the _design though but I don't think it's a problem since the
patch don't break anything. But using format parameter make CouchDB a real
resource/documnt repository where you could choose format of docs & views. And
I think it's very usefull for some usages.
> restfull and shorter urls for lists and shows

> Key: COUCHDB-404
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-404
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HTTP Interface
> Affects Versions: 0.10
> Environment: *
> Reporter: Benoit Chesneau
>
> We discussing yesterday with @jchris and @jasondavies about shortening
> shows and lists urls and we arrived on this format :
> /db/docid?show=dname/showname
> /db/_view/dname/vname?list=listname
> This change is very usefull since it allows shorter urls and I think
> it's more RESTFul. I had time this morning to write this and I created
> a branch on my github repository :
> http://github.com/benoitc/couchdb/tree/formuri
> To do this I refactored a little couch_httpd_show to reuse code to
> display lists and shows and added URL parameters parsing/validation.
> All changes made in this branch don't break current CouchDB behavior
> so :
> * Views are available on
> /db/_design/designame/_view/viewname (current behavior) but also on
> /db/_view/designame/viewname
> * Lists are available on
> /db/_design/designame/_list/listname/viewname (current behavior)
> but also on
> /db/_view/designame/viewname?list=listname
> * Shows are available on
> /db/_design/designame/_show/showname/docid
> but also on
> /db/docid?show=designame/showname
