    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1229?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13068686#comment-13068686 ] 

Christopher Bonhage commented on COUCHDB-1229:
----------------------------------------------

I encountered this as well; digging through src/couch_httpd_show.erl, handle_doc_show_req/3 appears to handle the "/" character in Document IDs properly:

DocParts = [DocId|Rest],
DocId1 = ?l2b(string:join([?b2l(P)|| P <- DocParts], "/")),

It seems like a bug that the _show handler joins the path parts back together, but the _update handler does not.

Obviously / is an important character in URL paths, but I don't see how that affects the trailing path parts here: database/_design/ddoc/_update/handler/docidpart1/docidpart2

Am I wrong?

> Let's say you have:
> - a doc with _id foo/bar
> - a show function named baz
> - a update function named baz
> Then _show/baz/foo/bar is valid but _update/baz/foo/bar is not. Only _update/baz/foo%2Fbar works.
> This is particularly annoying when you want to rewrite /something/* to _update/baz/foo/* (rewriting /something/* to _show/baz/foo/* works perfectly).
