penkeysuresh opened a new issue #1131: Auth Failure on /_session API with message "Minor error in HTTP request" for user names more than 30 characters when doing on browser URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1131 <!--- Provide a general summary of the issue in the Title above --> I'm facing this very peculiar bug on my couchdb installation. I have user databases on couch whose access is restricted to each user with their email and password. That is, for example a user whose email is 'email-id-with-more-than@30characters' has a database with name 'somerandomehash' with password 'secure-password' Now I'm making an auth call in my web app whenever user is logging in (request headers are posted below). This request, when I do from my web app fails, but when I do this using curl or postman extension, or directly trying to login using futon succeeds. I've checked all the headers and couchdb logs for any hints on why this is happening but to no avail. I assure you that the username and password are entered correctly, my couchdb instance is dockerised and is behind nginx proxy. I've searched on net and found a very similar case reported here [Couchdb auth failure with "Minor error in HTTP request"](http://grokbase.com/t/couchdb/user/11c7yjjkev/authentication-failure-with-minor-error-in-http-request). But there is no resolution listed there. ## Expected behavior Databases with user name more than 30 characters when trying to login from browser should succeed. <!--- If you're describing a bug, tell us what should happen --> <!--- If you're suggesting a change/improvement, tell us how it should work --> ## Steps to Reproduce (for bugs) <!--- Provide a link to a live example, or an unambiguous set of steps to --> <!--- reproduce this bug.
