-----------------------------------
Summary: Futon config UI won't allow "WWW-Authenticate" option to
be added (name is lowercased)
Key: COUCHDB-1479
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1479
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Futon
Environment: Mac OS X
Reporter: Jens Alfke
Priority: Minor
When using the config UI in futon to add a new option, via the "Add a new
section..." link at the bottom of the page, the name of the option is
lowercased when written to the .ini file. (For some reason the case is
preserved when altering the runtime configuration, though, so the problem
doesn't manifest itself until the next time the server is restarted.)
This causes trouble when attempting to enable HTTP basic auth by adding a
"WWW-Authenticate" option (value "Basic") to the [httpd] section. The actual
data written to the .ini file is:
[httpd]
www-authenticate = Basic
which is not recognized when the server loads its configuration on restart.
