Joan Touzet commented on COUCHDB-472:
-------------------------------------
Propose pushing this out and repurposing this task:
1. I propose closing COUCHDB-348 as WONTFIX due to what Benoit says above,
browsers and clients are bugged so not much that can be done here
2. Fauxton / new Futon work could subsumesome of this work, in terms of
supporting plugins and new dashboard functionality.
3. This could then morph into a new homepage for Fauxton/new Futon which is
user-editable in a friendlier way than this.
> handle custom CouchdDB welcome page

> customize the welcome page. If content is "application/json" it will send
> current json object, if not, it will send an html page or redirect to another
> path.
> This patch change the confugration string to a tupple {WelcomeMsg,
> WelcomePage}. WelcomePage could be a string for DocumentRoot where it will
> find welcome.html page or a tupple {redirect, Url}
> Ex if in config you have:
> / = {couch_httpd_misc_handlers, handle_welcome_req, {<<"Welcome">>,
> "/usr/local/share/couchdb/www"}}
> If Accept content is application/json Couchdb will send :
> "couchdb":"Welcome","version":"0.10.0a"}
> If other it will send welcome.html.
> if you replace "/usr/local/share/couchdb/www" by {redirect, <<"/_utils">>}
> user will be redirected on futon.
