hi

I'm new to couchdb and it makes fun to play with it :-).
I using vhost and rewrites to get nice urls. I also have defined some =
static html via
...
[httpd_global_handlers]
static =3D {couch_httpd_misc_handlers, handle_utils_dir_req, =
"/path/to/static"}
...

My problem is that I can't get access to http://127.0.0.1:5984/static =
from my vhost http://couchdb.local/static.=20
I get into a 301 redirect loop, which stops after to much recursion.=20

I tried this rewrite rule:
{
    "from": "/static/*",
    "to": "../../../static/*"
},

// my vhost setup
[vhosts]
cochdb.local:5984 =3D /mydb/_design/mydb/_rewrite/

I needed to set secure_rewrites to false, otherwise I get the error: =
"insecure_rewrite_rule". Is there a better way?

I'm using couchdb 1.0.2. I want to archive this without any other http =
server like apache to keep it simple.
What I'm doing wrong? Is this possible with couchdb 1.0.2? If not, will =
it be possible with couchdb 1.1.0?=20

regards
yves
