Hi Guys, I want yo submit a patch to couchdb. If you request the couchdb logs (http://127.0.0.1:5984/_log) I want the option of getting them returned in json format. This makes it much easier to work with the logs in javascript. I've done a first attempt here - https://gist.github.com/4037682 Basically replace from line 251 onwards in file couch_httpd_misc_handlers.erl, compile, run then curl http://127.0.0.1:5984/_log?format=json for JSON log output.
I've added the format="json" q-value for when the request wants it to be formatted in json. Hopefully there is a better way of doing this. Some things I would like checked: 1) Is there a easier way of formatting the code to json or a less splitting of code by brackets etc to get the Json? 2) Is the code formatted correctly for couchdb? 2) Should the json helper methods be in couch_httpd_misc_handlers.erl or couch_log.erl? 3) Am I remotely on the right track here, I'm very new to erlang so welcome any feedback. I will happily accept the statement "Garren you clearly are clueless, step back and let the pros do this kind of work"? Cheers Garren
