o.k., I set log level to debug, then replicated takeout to iriscouch. This gives the same error as when I replicate my own project. I pasted the error here: https://gist.github.com/1999367
Does this give any new clues? I have no experience. From case_clause and illegal database name I would think that "takeout" was illegal which certainly is not so. And the password I use contains only lower- and uppercase letterts and numbers. It couldn't be that futon experiences the same problems with escaping json as I do in curl, could it? The "<<\" figures inside json seem a little weird to me but maybe that is the way it has to be? I also chequed in the Country/Region settings of Windows 7 that decimal numbers are spelled with a ".", not with a "," as this could maybe cause problems (don't know if that is so for this case). This is my last try to solve the issue, then I will give up futon and only use curl.
