Send replication "conflict (are you replicating to yourself?)" error back
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-1041
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1041
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HTTP Interface
Affects Versions: 1.1, 1.0.1
Reporter: Benjamin Young
Priority: Minor
I have three local CouchDB instances on various ports (differing versions). I
accidently entered the port number for the instance I was replicating *to* in
the *from* field, so the replication would have been to and from the same
database. CouchDB doesn't currently send that error to the client, though it
does output this in the logs: "checkpoint failure: conflict (are you
replicating to yourself?)"
It would be handy (at least for Futon) to have that information in either the
response body or in the header. The log error message does include "conflict"
in the wording, so perhaps a 409 Conflict error message is in order.
Happy to provide a patch if 409 is the way to go.
