Caolan McMahon commented on COUCHDB-1089:
-----------------------------------------

Only if you have 'safe rewrites' turned off or you're not behind a vhost. 
Getting the replication information related to a single database at a URL 
accessible from the db level (rather than the root level) would still be 
useful. Also, do all replications create an entry in the _replicator database?

Dale, yes I have no idea if this is a good idea for security or not. Certainly 
needs thinking about.

> Currently you have to be a database administrator to access _active_tasks. 
> For UX purposes I would like to allow anyone to see view generation statuses, 
> preferably on a per database level. This solves the problem of the first user 
> to generate a view that then receives no time estimate as to when their 
> process will be completed. I can't think of an application use case for 
> making replication data public.
> I spoke with Volker Mische about the implementation details on this issue and 
> he asserted after a code dive that it appears achievable, though the innards 
> of the view status code were not familiar to him.
