> CouchDB create database response error is wrong
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-967
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-967
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Database Core
> Affects Versions: 1.0.2, 1.1, 1.2, 2.0
> Environment: Mac OS X Snow Leopard
> Reporter: Filippo Fadda
> Priority: Minor
>
> When you try to create a database with a "/" inside name, the following error
> is returned. For example:
> --------------------------------------------
> Database name: /invalid/name/
> --------------------------------------------
> _ using cURL _
> http://127.0.0.1:5984/invalid/name/
> HTTP Status Code: 404 Not Found
> CouchDB Error: not_found
> CouchDB Reason: no_db_file
> Now, the documentation says:
> "A database must be named with all lowercase letters (a-z), digits (0-9), or
> any of the _$()+-/ characters and must end with a slash in the URL. The name
> has to start with a lowercase letter (a-z). "
> But we know that a database name can't contain the "/" character, but it must
> end with "/". So the documentation is wrong and the reported error is wrong
> too.
> CouchDB infast must report the same error provided when you try to create a
> database named "Invalidname" with the first letter uppercase, like in the
> following example:
> --------------------------------------------
> Database name: /Invalidname/
> --------------------------------------------
> _ using cURL _
> http://127.0.0.1:5984/Invalidname/
> HTTP Status Code: 400 Bad Request
> CouchDB Error: illegal_database_name
> CouchDB Reason: Only lowercase characters (a-z), digits (0-9), and any of the
> characters _, $, (, ), +, -, and / are allowed. Must begin with a letter.
