Felix Henninger commented on COUCHDB-648:
-----------------------------------------
I would like to add that this issue persists when the start() method is used
(c.f.
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Formatting_with_Show_and_List#Sending_a_Redirect
).
As rnewson commented on IRC, the response code is hardcoded for _updates
(couch_httpd_show:send_doc_update_response;
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/couchdb/trunk/src/couchdb/couch_httpd_show.erl?view=markup#L125),
but not for _lists and _shows -- creating consistency here would also be
helpful.
In line with the original author, I would personally much appreciate this
addition, since it would allow for basic form processing without javascript,
and thereby provide graceful degradation for CouchDB-based web apps.
> _update handler ignores "code" in response doc

> Key: COUCHDB-648
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-648
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Database Core
> Environment: CouchDB from HEAD
> Reporter: Cliff Stanford
>
> When using an _update handler, it should be possible to return a response
> code.
> return [ doc, {
> headers : { "Location" : "/" },
> code : 303,
> body : 'Redirecting'
> }];
> Should return 303 (the redirect for POST) but in fact, on a successful create
> returns 201. This means it is not possible to use the browser to POST as you
> cannot redirect on return. This feels like a bug.
> In any case, I would respectfully suggest that the syntax of the _update
> handler be changed so that there is a store(doc) call (or similar) which
> returns a JSON object to the update handler so that the handler may redirect
> appropriately. That would make it possible to do updates client-side with
> little or no client-side javascript.
