trailing slash in path cannot be recovered by external process
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-676
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-676
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Infrastructure
Affects Versions: 0.11
Reporter: Andrew Straw
I modified the example given in the ExternalProcesses wiki page to return
exactly the request line and queried the external process with both a trailing
slash ( http://127.0.0.1:5984/test/_test/ ) and no trailing slash (
http://127.0.0.1:5984/test/_test ). The request line is exactly the same for
these two cases.
This is problematic because external processes may treat these cases
differently. For example, Django's CommonMiddleware class redirects any "path"
to "path/" if there is a view at "path/" but not at "path", which is usually
the case for a default view of a Django app. When using Django with
couchdb-wsgi, this results in an infinite redirect loop because although Django
issues a redirect to "path/", couchdb-wsgi emits "path" as the path.
