> HTTP status code when recreating a database
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-117
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-117
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HTTP Interface, Test Suite
> Affects Versions: 0.9
> Environment: Mac OS X 10.4.11
> Reporter: Michael Hendricks
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: 0001-Status-code-when-creating-a-database-twice.patch
>
>
> If one accidentally tries to create a database when a database by that name
> already exists, CouchDB trunk (tested at revision 691322) responds with a 500
> status code. In slightly older versions of the trunk, the response code was
> 409 and the error message helpfully indicated that a database by that name
> already exists.
> I'll attach a patch that restores the 409 code and error message. I
> submitted this patch to the developer's mailing list on August 23rd. It
> appears not to have been noticed by the core developers, so I'm re-posting it
> here.
