Hey guys, I need to find a way to do a redirect from a _list function after calling the getRow() function. After looking at render.js for a while I can't see how to solve this without at least adding to the API.
Basically, I think that calling getRow() shouldn't cause the view server to send the headers (or awaiting chunks) unless we've already called send() or something like that. That way, we can return from the _list function after iterating to the first row that should redirect. (I'm not sure if this is a breaking change from the current semantics, however...) Would greatly appreciate a little guidance on how to attack this!

Yes... The headers are sent when the first getRow is called. Fixing this is definitely something I'd support. > > On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 12:11 PM, Chris Anderson <[email protected]> wrote: >> On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 8:40 AM, Zachary Zolton >> <[email protected]> wrote: >>> Okay, I've update this section to differentiate between the 0.9 and >>> 0.10 _list API: >>> >>> http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Formatting_with_Show_and_List#Sending_a_Redirect >>> >>> Now, I'm feeling that the Other Fun Things section could use a bit of >>> love.
