Jeff,
We could change the API to map the externals from paths directly to
scripts, like
[httpd_db_handlers]
_mypath = {couch_httpd_external, handle_external_req, "/path/to/my/script"}
which would be fine by me.
The current code is like it is because the original implementation was
designed to have multiple scripts mounted at the /db/_external path.
Do you mind opening a ticket about this? - I'm happy to write the code
but I'm supposed to be working on the book right now, so it'll have to
wait.
Thanks,
Chris
