Paul Joseph Davis commented on COUCHDB-1229:
--------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, we don't just rely on "/" to distinguish between the dbname and
docid. All of the doc handlers and and design handlers have come to rely on "/"
as an important delimiter. Unfortunately some proxies unconditionally decode
%2F to "/" before forwarding the URL so we also have some special cased logic
to re-constitute things like design doc ids and what not.
> _update handler doesn't support slashes in doc _id

> Key: COUCHDB-1229
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1229
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HTTP Interface
> Affects Versions: 1.1
> Reporter: Simon Leblanc
> Labels: URI, id, update
>
> Let's say you have:
> - a doc with _id foo/bar
> - a show function named baz
> - a update function named baz
> Then _show/baz/foo/bar is valid but _update/baz/foo/bar is not. Only
> _update/baz/foo%2Fbar works.
> This is particularly annoying when you want to rewrite /something/* to
> _update/baz/foo/* (rewriting /something/* to _show/baz/foo/* works perfectly).
