It wouldn't hurt performance very much either :)
There's a lot of sense in the original proposal. But also in Jan's
response about the vhosts and rewriter.
The way to combine them is to write clear example documentation,
implementing Dynnamitt's suggestion as part of the standard manual.
Even better, include a file in etc/couchdb/local.d in the standard
distribution which does it if unremmed.
Aside: We can't really swap out the complete CouchDB API
shortly before going to 1.0. We are also committed to not
create any unnecessary legacy features before 1.0, we'll
start accumulating them soon enough :)
Talking about breaking changes, would it break much to change the
configuration directives to:
PREFIX/default.ini
PREFIX/default.d/*.ini
PREFIX/local.ini
PREFIX/local.d/*.ini
That way, there would be room for .example files which demonstrated this
kind of stuff where the admin most needs to see it.
Regards,
Cliff.
