Alexander Shorin closed COUCHDB-1215.
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
Closing in favour of COUCHDB-1446 since it handles this problem more widely.
> Improve _config error handling by validating certain (if not all) values
> based on their keys

> Key: COUCHDB-1215
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1215
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Futon, HTTP Interface
> Affects Versions: 1.1
> Reporter: Benjamin Young
> Priority: Minor
>
> When saving values via Futon or the HTTP API, it's easy to put in values that
> are invalid and could make CouchDB unbootable. Some level of validation here
> would save the day in most cases or the disposal of the incorrect values with
> a log message (rather than preventing startup).
> In my case, I'd added just <<"http://google.com/";>> to the value of the
> _google key in the httpd_global_handlers section and that prevented CouchDB
> from starting. The ever fabulous Paul Davis pointed out my error and it was
> "easy enough" to fix by altering the value in the .ini file to be the correct
> value...which is: {couch_httpd_proxy, handle_proxy_req,
> <<"http://www.google.com";>>}
> In the case of these httpd_global_handlers a simple check that it's an Erlang
> tuple with at least two terms would be a simple check that would have kept my
> CouchDB instance up.
