cgwic opened a new issue #1311: Cookie auth broken when 'authentication_handlers' added to local.ini
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1311
 
 
   ## Expected Behavior
   ```
   curl -vX GET 192.168.99.100:5984/_session --cookie AuthSession=ZGlqbzo...
   {"ok":true,"userCtx":{"name":"name","roles":["role"]},"info":{"authentication_db":"_users","authentication_handlers":["cookie","default"],"authenticated":"cookie"}}
   ```
   
   ## Current Behavior
   ```
   curl -vX GET 192.168.99.100:5984/_session --cookie AuthSession=ZGlqbzo...
   {"ok":true,"userCtx":{"name":null,"roles":[]},"info":{"authentication_db":"_users","authentication_handlers":["cookie","default"]}}
   ```
   
   ## Possible Solution
   comment this string in [chttpd] section in local.ini file
   `authentication_handlers = {couch_httpd_auth, cookie_authentication_handler}, {couch_httpd_auth, default_authentication_handler}`
   
   ## Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
   1. Add `authentication_handlers = {couch_httpd_auth, cookie_authentication_handler}, {couch_httpd_auth, default_authentication_handler}` in [chttpd] section in local.ini file
   2. Restart couchdb
   3. Try to get access with nonadmin user using cookie auth
   
   ## Context
   It's not a bug for me just unexpected behaviour. But i'm new to CouchDB and it takes some time to find cause of this.
   
   ## Your Environment
   * Version used: CouchDB 2.1.1
   * Browser Name and version: curl 7.58.0, chrome 66.0.3359
   * Operating System and version (desktop or mobile): Windows 7, Android 5.1, Linux default 4.9.93-boot2docker
