Hi dev@, I added virtual host handling to CouchDB. I have a Github branch for you to check out:
http://github.com/janl/couchdb/commits/vhosts Alternatively, here's a full diff including etap tests: http://www.friendpaste.com/6B5dQU1fb27boOvxhm2nhf From local.ini: ; To enable Virtual Hosts in CouchDB, add a vhost = path directive. All requests to ; the Virual Host will be redirected to the path. In the example below all requests ; to http://example.com/ are redirected to /database. ; If you run CouchDB on a specific port, include the port number in the vhost: ; example.com:5984 = /database [vhosts] ;example.com = /database/ In combination with Benoit's rewriter, this allows you to create virtual hosts with really pretty URLs. The CouchDB default behaviour isn't changed. CouchDB simply inspects a request's `Host:` header and maps it against any defined virtual hosts. If a match is found, CouchDB will make an internal redirect much like the rewriter. I did a stupid A/B test with Apache Bench and couldn't see any performance degradation. Feel free to prove me wrong :) I'd like to commit this to trunk and also backport to 0.11. What do you think? Thanks for you feedback. Cheers Jan --
