I like the simplicity of the supplied rewrite handler, but I'm finding that
does not meet my needs.
I need to do arbitrary rewrites that involve string concatination, URL
encoding, and other such logic., and would like to avoid an external process
such as nginx, or Apache.
Being able to write a rewrite as a javascript function inside a design doc
seems like a perfect solution, but unsure how difficult this would be. I am
new to Erlang.
Could anyone offer any tips to get me started?
Would this require a custom fork/build of Couch, or could this handler be
added via configuration?
Thank you
The rewriter you may want is here :
http://github.com/benoitc/couchdb/tree/rewrite
ex :
http://github.com/benoitc/couchdb/blob/rewrite/share/www/script/test/rewrite.js
relevant part :
function (req) {
path = "/" + req.path.join('/');
if (path == "/forbidden") {
throw {forbidden:
"path forbidden"};
}
if (path == "/unauthorized") {
throw {unauthorized:
"path not authorized"};
}
if (path == "/notfound") {
throw {not_found:
"path not found"};
}
if (path == "/foo") {
return "foo.txt"
}
var matches = path.match(/^\/hello\/(\w.+)$/);
if (matches[1]) {
if (req.verb == "DELETE") {
throw {forbidden:
"delete is forbidden"};
}
return "_update/hello/" + matches[1];
}
the problem with a rewriter using js, is that you will kill yourserver
under load since it will create one process / request. That the reason
I wrote the current rewriter in full erlang. To use a js rewriter we
need to use something like emonk or erlang_js so we don't open an os
process.
