----------------------------------
> '$' in database name confuses behaviour of %2F in design doc ID
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-313
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-313
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.9
> Environment: svn r761188
> Ubuntu Hardy + Erlang 12B3 from Intrepid
> Reporter: Brian Candler
> Priority: Minor
>
> Normally, if you use %2F to separate _design from the rest of the URL, you
> get a 301 redirect:
> $ curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/mydb
> {"ok":true}
> $ curl -X PUT -d"{}" http://127.0.0.1:5984/mydb/_design/test
> {"ok":true,"id":"_design/test","rev":"1-481559718"}
> $ curl -v http://127.0.0.1:5984/mydb/_design%2Ftest
> ...
> < HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
> < Server: CouchDB/0.9.0 (Erlang OTP/R12B)
> < Location: http://127.0.0.1:5984/mydb/_design/test
> However this logic is broken if you use a database which has a '$' in the
> name: you get a 'badmatch' erlang error.
> $ curl -X PUT 'http://127.0.0.1:5984/my$db'
> {"ok":true}
> $ curl -X PUT -d'{}' 'http://127.0.0.1:5984/my$db/_design/test'
> {"ok":true,"id":"_design/test","rev":"1-4187139805"}
> $ curl 'http://127.0.0.1:5984/my$db/_design/test'
> {"_id":"_design/test","_rev":"1-4187139805"}
> $ curl 'http://127.0.0.1:5984/my$db/_design%2Ftest'
> {"error":"badmatch","reason":"{ok,[\"/my$db/\",\"test\"]}"}
> $ is allowed in a database name according to the wiki (as long as it's not
> the first character), and otherwise appears to work OK. I have not tried
> other 'unusual' characters.
