Russell Branca commented on COUCHDB-2079:
-----------------------------------------
+1 to having an empty http layer that allows app to plug into it.
I think it would also be interesting to update the handler functions to be less
dependent on http, basically keep http isolated to chttpd, and have all the
other things return erlang data structures. Basically make http a particular
interface type, allowing for alternative interfaces or direct access.
> Re-enable configurable HTTP handlers

> chttpd hard codes HTTP handlers rather than lists them in the config files.
> We'll need to revert this change. Though given how some apps (couch_mrview,
> etc) have their own handlers we should consider making this configurable at
> the app-level instead of the ini level in CouchDB.
> I have a few ideas on this, mostly by removing all handler code from chttpd
> and friends. The HTTPd app would then just start empty servers with no
> handlers and each app would have a supervision tree process that would be
> responsible for registering handlers.
