Hi all,

For a while now, we've had a build process that creates a website, creates 
Couch databases, creates a user for that site, and then uses that new user to 
create the default design docs for the newly-created databases.

In the last week or so, the create view action has been returning 302 errors 
and, when I run the process by hand using cURL, I get the same error.

My process is:

1. Create user through Futon (e.g. org.couchdb.user:testuser)
2. Generate a password with a salt and hash it using PHP.
3. Save the new user record.
4. Create a new database (e.g. testuser_database)
5. Using Futon, open the Security dialog and add in ["testuser"] and ["admin"] 
to the Administrator fields.
6. Save the security dialog.
7. Attempt a PUT of a design doc:

> curl -i -X PUT -d "{\"one\":\"two\"}" 
> http://testuser:[email protected]:5984/testuser_database/_design/test/

8. I get an error response:
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: CouchDB/1.2.0a1075588 (Erlang OTP/R14B)
Location: 
http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/session.html?return=%2Fmartin_test%2F_design%2Ftest&reason=Name%20or%20password%20is%20incorrect.

{"error":"unauthorized","reason":"Name or password is incorrect."}

Now, I *know* that neither the password nor the username is incorrect, and, up 
until a week or so ago, this build process completed without issue. Raising the 
CouchDB log level to debug gives no more useful information.

Couch version: {"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"1.2.0a1075588"}

I know a recent version of Couch was released (this was built from source a 
month or two ago), but, this system is in production, so I'd rather not rebuild 
Couch if I can avoid it.

Any help debugging this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Martin
