Chris Anderson commented on COUCHDB-230:
----------------------------------------
I was thinking we could just extend the current vhosts api so that:
[vhosts]
example.com/foobar = /foo/_design/bar/_rewrite
it would be up to the admin to avoid stomping on existing database names. I am
more than happy to allow them to live with that risk.
> Add Support for Rewritable URL
> ------------------------------

> Key: COUCHDB-230
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-230
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Patrick Aljord
> Fix For: 1.0.2

> It would be good if couchdb would allow to rewrite urls so that instead of
> having to write that:
> http://127.0.0.1:5984/blogdb/_design/sofa/account.html
> I could just write:
> http://127.0.0.1:5984/blogdb/account
> It could be done with the web server but having the rewritten rules in the db
> would make it a bit easier for replication so we don't have to write the
> rules on each web server where a db gets replicated.
> Here are a few propositions from davisp:
> <davisp> alisdair: how so? rewriting urls should be in _design documents,
> since they're in _design docs they should be limited to per db namespaces
> <davisp> bobesponja: I don't know that anyone has looked at it seriously, but
> my first guess is that we'd just make a _design/doc "urls" member that's a
> list of regex's and targets as is fairly standard practice
> <davisp> bobesponja: or perhaps, regex's -> erlang handler
> <davisp> the second might not be as fun
