All good things come to those who wait ;-). I re-read the beginning of the thread but it's not quite clear what you're trying to do -- if this is just a portion of your rewrite requirements, or the only requirement. >Also, I keep "services" open the background restart Couch after nearly >every change.

Also, if you update couchdb settings via futon or the terminal, it Does The Right Thing with Erlang Magic, and won't need a restart. e.g.: curl -XPUT http://admin:passwd@localhost:5984/_config/vhosts/methods --data-binary '"GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS, HEAD"' or similar does the trick. ## local.ini [vhosts] feedme = /feedme/site/index.html Obviously feedme exists in /etc/hosts or dns already, and /feedme/ is the couchdb, /site/ is a document (not a design doc, but it could be), and /index.html is an attachment within that doc. This means a normal couchdb user can serve an entire html site/app from a single document, so long as vhosts are set up. IMO this is amazing. ### check that vhost is active GET /_config/vhosts HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/json Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, compress Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46cGFzc3dk Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 Host: localhost:5984 User-Agent: HTTPie/0.8.0-dev HTTP/1.1 200 OK Cache-Control: must-revalidate Content-Length: 127 Content-Type: application/json Date: Tue, 08 Oct 2013 18:09:51 GMT Server: CouchDB/1.5.0+build.

I use the excellent python-based http://httpie.org/ tool, but you can do this with futon or whatever easily. http put $COUCH/feedme/site/index.html content-type:'text/html; charset=utf-8' < index.html ## check that it all works http get http://feedme:5984/ GET / HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/json Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, compress Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 Host: feedme:5984 User-Agent: HTTPie/0.8.0-dev HTTP/1.1 200 OK Accept-Ranges: none Cache-Control: must-revalidate Content-Encoding: gzip Content-Length: 189 Content-MD5: Vfjf6/NxkRUmfgCLdb1Uvw== Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Date: Tue, 08 Oct 2013 18:10:44 GMT ETag: "Vfjf6/NxkRUmfgCLdb1Uvw==" Server: CouchDB/1.5.0+build.
