Matthew Hooker updated COUCHDB-348:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: COUCHDB_348_01.patch
I think this patch does what Chris described. I've tested it in firefox and
curl, and I get the expected results.
Not being super expert at either the CouchDB codebase or Erlang, I think this
is sort of a naive approach, and would appreciate some feedback.
It merely checks if the client is sending 'text/html' as part of the Accept
header, and like COUCHDB-234, it doesn't respect qvalues, so if the client can
do both html and json, it will get html.
Thanks.

> 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.
