The page "Return a document's attachment from inside a vhost and/or redirect" has been deleted by JoanTouzet: https://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Return%20a%20document%27s%20attachment%20from%20inside%20a%20vhost%20and/or%20redirect?action=diff&rev1=3&rev2=4 Comment: Obsolete! - <<Include(EditTheWiki)>> - = How to Return a document's attachment from inside a vhost and/or redirect = - - When you're inside of a vhost with rewrites, people can't see the database documents, and also can't see their attachents. - - This was really annoying for me as all my product documents have images. - - I first tried adding the ?with_attachments (or whatever it is) in a show function, but I thought, whoa! I'm gonna load 5 images into memory (in base64 encoding no less) to just return one .. that's a bit sucky. - - So anyway, the docs say that rewrites are relative to /dbname/_design/designname .. I expected ../ in a rewrite to return the '/db/' root, but it actually needs '../../': - - {{{ - { - "from": "/products/dvrs/:doc/:attachment", - "to": "../../:doc/:attachment", - "method": "GET" - } - }}} - - I'm not sure if there are any security issues with serving attachments like this. Technically someone might be able to put anything in :doc and anything in :attachment and they'd be getting it basically from the database root. So I'm going to be putting in another rewrite rule/filter on my nginx to stop them putting '_' in the names. - - It'd be neat to have a rewrite customisable rewrite function or filter option. -
