Subject: Redirects from _list functions in CouchDB 1.4

Hello,

I tried to redirect from a _list function without success. This code throws
a badarg error in CouchDB 1.4.0 (also in 1.2 and 1.3):

function(head, req) {
  return {
    code : 301,
    headers : {
      Location : 'http://www.google.com'
    }
  };
}

Is there something I am doing wrong or missing?

The real-world use case is that we have several aliases to each document in
the db, and all those aliases should be redirected to the real document id.
We use a view to emit the aliases and a list function to redirect all those
aliases to the real url.

We've been working around the previous issues with modifying headers after
getRow() by redirecting through JavaScript, but want to get rid of this
workaround eventually.

Regards,
Bernhard
