----------------------------------
Summary: GET requests fail against a list if they have content-type
x-www-form-urlencoded (was: GET requests fail against a list if they have
content-type x-wwwform-urlencoded)
> GET requests fail against a list if they have content-type

> Key: COUCHDB-1113
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1113
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HTTP Interface
> Affects Versions: 1.0.2
> Environment: all, but particularly JQuery
> Reporter: Dennis Clark
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: erlang, javascript, list
> Original Estimate: 2h
> Remaining Estimate: 2h
>
> Given a design doc like:
> {
> views: {whatever...}
> lists: {myList: function (head, req) { ...}}
> }
> an ajax request in JQuery like:
> $.get("/db/_design/ddoc/_list/myList/whatever", function (data) {...});
> will fail with a 500 error of type function_clause. This appears to be
> because CouchDB is attempting to parse the empty form it assumes must be
> there based on the content type and mochiweb's parser fails.
> Of course, if you try the same url in a browser or with curl, it'll work
> perfectly.
> This may be for deep reasons beyond my ken, but the silent failure of the
> HTTP API in this case seems like a problem. At the very least, an informative
> error message would be good.
