Henri van den bulk commented on COUCHDB-867:
--------------------------------------------
I would like to see a patch for this as well. You can mitigate this as well by
running your couchdb instance behind a reverse proxy. Then have Apache or you
other favorite http server provide the clientaccess.xml file.
> Add http handlers for root files with special meanings, such as
> crossdomain.xml.

> Key: COUCHDB-867
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-867
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HTTP Interface
> Affects Versions: 1.0.1
> Reporter: Eric Desgranges
> Attachments: handle_file_req.diff
>
>
> Some files at the root level of a website have a special meaning, such as
> favicon.ico storing the favorite icon, which is processed correctly in the
> [httpd_global_handlers] section of the ini file with this instruction:
> favicon.ico = {couch_httpd_misc_handlers, handle_favicon_req,
> "../share/couchdb/www"}
> But this is the only one handled while other files, which are critical when
> to accessing the CouchDB server from Flash, Flex, Silverlight..., are missing
> - crossdomain.xml (this one should be a top priority fix!)
> - clientaccesspolicy.xml -- See
> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc838250%28v=VS.95%29.aspx#crossdomain_communication
> And there's also 'robots.txt' to prevent search engines from accessing some
> files / directories.
