At least on this resource. +1 for the second idea. Adding here other urls describing the resources would be also interesting, so a client could discover them. small bikeshedding , I would replace admin by ui there :) > / should redirect to a human readable page when accessed from a browser > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: COUCHDB-348 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-348 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: HTTP Interface > Reporter: Chris Anderson > Assignee: Robert Newson > Attachments: COUCHDB_348_01.patch, COUCHDB_348_02.patch, COUCHDB_348_03.patch, encs.erl > > > As more people are adopting CouchDB, the number of questions along the lines of "All I see is {"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"0.10.0a773399"}, what now?" > If this page redirected to /_utils/ (or maybe something more user-focussed) when the accept headers included html, we could make the first-time user experience more palatable. > There's some code in COUCHDB-234 that might be helpful here. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159)
