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

I'm am starting to get concerned about this feature (and the $foo pattern matching vhosts stuff as well) mostly because I'm not sure I understand all the implications of it.

In the past when features have been proposed that have been complex enough to not be easy to reason about, we've decided against them. I'm not saying that's what we need to do hear, but I think that until we are totally clear about what we are and aren't getting into with this stuff, we should proceed with caution.

> 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
