> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug

> Affects Versions: 1.0.1
> Environment: Erlang R13, Linux
> Reporter: Jason Smith
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.0.1

> Since COUCHDB-815, CouchDB allows nonstandard or unknown HTTP methods in case
> a _show or similar function may want to implement a response to that method.
> Unfortunately the (my) patch in that ticket used couch_util:to_existing_atom
> which returns the passed value unmodified if it has no corresponding atom.
> That is wrong because the HTTP method will be copied into the `req` object in
> the view server, therefore it must not be an Erlang string (list of integers)
> because those do not JSONify correctly. Instead, if the atom does not exist,
> the method should be converted to a binary.
