>             Project: CouchDB
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: HTTP Interface
>    Affects Versions: 1.0.1
>            Reporter: Benjamin Young
>         Attachments: encode_db_name_in_rewriter.patch, rewrite_db_with_forward_slashes.js

>
> If a database includes special characters (such as / "forward slash"), then the rewriter will fail to find the correct database and send a 404 error:
> {"error":"not_found","reason":"no_db_file"}
> The attached patch simply adds a url_encode step around DbName.
