bobug opened a new issue #62: Crashing on invalid bind address
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-docker/issues/62
 
 
   <!--- Provide a general summary of the issue in the Title above -->
   
   This is a dorky bug, but since it crashes, I thought I'd mention it.
   
   CouchDB crashes when an invalid "bind address" is supplied, either during setup, or via subsequent configuration. 
   
   ## Expected Behavior
   <!--- If you're describing a bug, tell us what should happen -->
   <!--- If you're suggesting a change/improvement, tell us how it should work -->
   
   I'd expect that an invalid address simply be rejected with some user notification.
   
   ## Current Behavior
   <!--- If describing a bug, tell us what happens instead of the expected behavior -->
   <!--- If suggesting a change/improvement, explain the difference from current behavior -->
   
   Running a stock docker image ```docker pull couchdb``` and then proceeding to set up CouchDB with some gibberish results in an nearly immediate crash. This can also be reproduced via 'Configuration' on an existing setup.
   
   ## Possible Solution
   <!--- Not obligatory, but suggest a fix/reason for the bug, -->
   <!--- or ideas how to implement the addition or change -->
   
   Reject input not matching an acceptable pattern/valid address.
   
   ## Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
   <!--- Provide a link to a live example, or an unambiguous set of steps to -->
   <!--- reproduce this bug. Include code to reproduce, if relevant -->
   1. docker pull couchdb
   2. docker run -d couchdb (possibly better - docker run -it couchdb /bin/bash)
   3. Open a browser to http://<host>:5984/_utils/#setup/singlenode.
   4.Drop in anything for the admin credentials.
   5. Supply junk for the "bind address" (e.g., use a single quote)
   6. Click "Configure Node"
   7. Immediate crash.
   
   Alternatively, login, and then navigate to "Configuration > bind_address". Slap some cruft in there, observe crash,perhaps after a few moments.
   
   ## Context
   <!--- How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish? -->
   <!--- Providing context helps us come up with a solution that is most useful in the real world -->
   
   Just looking around, not affecting me, but might possibly affect someone.
   
   ## Your Environment
   <!--- Include as many relevant details about the environment you experienced the bug in -->
