[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-1697) if-none-match header causes 500 internal server error on CORS requests

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1697?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13601385#comment-13601385 ] 

Ryan Ramage commented on COUCHDB-1697:
--------------------------------------

So I have tracked this down to the maybe_apply_cors_headers geting an ETag from a second call to a doc or view with a if-none-match header. I am working on a test and a fix.

> Browsers can send a if-none-match header to couchdb, but this can will break when CORS is enabled. The reason seems to be the header comes in as a binary, eg from the debug log the header is:
> {'If-None-Match',"\"V9J3604P4V9VTR5H77SBHJW\""},
> When maybe_apply_cors_headers is called, the assumption is that the headers are strings. This can be seen here: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/b0420f9006915149e81607615720f32f21c76725/src/couchdb/couch_httpd_cors.erl#L219
> Thus a string:to_lower is undefined as can be seen in this stacktrace:
