Jan Lehnardt commented on COUCHDB-464:
--------------------------------------
Good call, I'd suggest two changes:
1. add a mandatory "source" field that is the prefix in the log.
2. require admin privileges to make the request.
2.1. I'd be happy to introduce in the future a _log or _externals role, so
external scripts don't need to have full admin credentials.
> Allow POST to _log for external processes
