I have rewrites and vhost support working now (thanks for the help!). The
next issue I’m flailing on is how to best perform edits to my database, while
still using the nice URL structure.
With a vhost going to /db/_design/app/_rewrite, all the incoming URLs get
written to have /db/_design/app as a prefix. So, to PUT/POST new/updated
documents, I added rewrites of:
{
"from": "/*",
"to": "../../*",
"method": "PUT"
},
{
"from": "/*",
"to": "../../*",
"method": "POST"
},
I also played a bit with rewriting to a _update/put function. I never got
this approach working fully before thinking I should just redirect up with
../.. in the rewrite. It seems harder to use _update than just escape the
_design/app namespace this way.
My question then, is -- is this standard procedure, or should I avoid this
approach for some reason?
Thanks!
