Benoit Chesneau updated COUCHDB-230:
------------------------------------

    Attachment: 0001-manage-aliases.patch

Here is a patch that manage rewritting of location. So you could do :

/example = /etape-test-db

or /example/* = /etape-test-db/_design/example/*

Now it doesn't work well when vhosts rewrite url like the last test show:

Vhost rule :

example1.com = /testdb/_design/somedoc/_rewrite/

alias rule :
/example = /etape-test-db

Vhost first rewrite the path to /testdb/_design/somedoc/_rewrite/example 

This patch doesn't match aliases then it will be ignored. I can inverse the behaviour to match first aliases then vhosts but it sound weird. What do you think ?

> It would be good if couchdb would allow to rewrite urls so that instead of having to write that:
> http://127.0.0.1:5984/blogdb/_design/sofa/account.html
> I could just write:
> http://127.0.0.1:5984/blogdb/account
> It could be done with the web server but having the rewritten rules in the db would make it a bit easier for replication so we don't have to write the rules on each web server where a db gets replicated.
> Here are a few propositions from davisp:
> <davisp> alisdair: how so? rewriting urls should be in _design documents, since they're in _design docs they should be limited to per db namespaces
> <davisp> bobesponja: I don't know that anyone has looked at it seriously, but my first guess is that we'd just make a _design/doc "urls" member that's a list of regex's and targets as is fairly standard practice
> <davisp> bobesponja: or perhaps, regex's -> erlang handler
> <davisp> the second might not be as fun
