I've just pushed some work based on Jason Davies' cookie-auth branch to my github:
http://github.com/jchris/couchdb/tree/jd-cookie-auth This consolidates login, logout, and whoami to a /_session resource that supports POST, GET, and DELETE. One thing missing here is a /_utils/login.html interface that would also handle creating new accounts. Another is a general consensus around how admins grant roles to new users, set default roles, etc. Take a look at it and feel free to add patches. Tomorrow I plan to move to an svn branch, but I'll merge any git patches that come along, before moving to svn. Chris -- Chris Anderson http://jchrisa.net http://couch.io
