Chris Anderson commented on COUCHDB-230:
----------------------------------------

not worrying about stomping on database names (Eg by allowing admins to vhost */foo = /foo/_design/foo/_rewrite ) I think is OK.

I'm not sure about the $stuff, if only because that adds an entire new level of complexity to the implementation. one thing I like about the implementation now is how simple it is.

> 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
