Badarg error in HTTP request

[Tim Doherty]

Hello,

I am new to CouchDB, having just inherited a CouchApp project. I have 
successfully replicated the production app to my local CouchDB installation 
(1.1.1 on Windows 7)

I am getting 'Badarg error in HTTP request' on _rewrite requests for views on 
my local machine, while identical requests are fine on the production server, 
i.e.:

This works: production.server.com:5984/arp/_design/arp/_rewrite/emailpresent

But this doesn't: localhost:5984/arp/_design/arp/_rewrite/emailpresent

rewrites.json is as follows:

[
                {
                                "from": "/index.html",
                                "to":"/index.html"
                },
                {
                                "from": "/css/*",
                                "to":"/css/*"
                },
                {

                },
                {

                },
                {
                                "from": "/cancelreg/*",
                                "to": "/_update/cancelreg/*"

                {

                },
                {

                                "to": "/_list/vendorexport/vendorreginfo"
                },
                {
                                "from": "/",
                                "to": "/index.html"
                }
]

And _view/emailpresent/map.js is as follows:

function(doc) {
                if (doc.type == "profile")
                                emit(doc.email, "true");
}

Stack trace from the log is as follows:
