I have the following fragment in rewrite.json, 

{{quote}}
{ 
        "from": "server_lib/:~name",
        "to": "_list/sub/design",
        "query": {
            "path": ["lib", ":~name" ],
            "include_docs": "true"
        }
},
{{quote}}

when I try to fetch the page with
{{quote}}
curl  -s -D /dev/stderr -H "Accept: application/json" 
'http://localhost:5984/q-couch-test/_design/couch-experiment/_rewrite/server_lib/myLib'
{{quote}}

I get this error

The bug seems to be in couch_httpd_rewrite.erl in maybe_json. It treats keys 
specially, so we can represent keys as lists but not other query strings.

e.g. this rewrite fragment works
{{quote}}
 { 
        "from": "view/by_name/:~type",
        "to":  "_view/all-by-name",
        "query": { 
            "startkey": [ ":~type", null ],
            "endkey":   [ ":~type", {} ]
        } 
}, 
{{quote}}
