Matthew Hooker commented on COUCHDB-348:
----------------------------------------
@benoitc Matt mentions that it might not work with IE, but I haven't checked.
As Dirkjan points out, though, it should probably properly parse the Accept
header.
> / should redirect to a human readable page when accessed from a browser

> 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.
