[1/49] git commit: Align sphinx & autotools

Updated Branches:
  refs/heads/docs [created] 838cf30be


Align sphinx & autotools

- remove manual.rst & release.rst files, only used during migration
- prepare conf.py to be run from share/Makefile similar to:
  sphinx-build -a -E -W -n \
    -D version='$ver' \
    -D release='$ver-git-sha' \
    -D project='Apache CouchDB' \
    -D copyright='$year, Apache Software Foundation' \
    -c `pwd` \
    -d /tmp/ \
    rst/ \
    `pwd`/manual

- set sphinx config:
  - update copyright & project
  - set default syntax highlighting to JSON
  - output docs to share/docs/manual
- move into share/docs/rst
- move old 1.1 .rst updates into main area
- add release.rst for future release notes
- swap specific versions and releases for sphinx variables

+
+===========
+CouchDB API
+===========
+
+The CouchDB API is the primary method of interfacing to a CouchDB
+instance. Requests are made using HTTP and requests are used to request
+information from the database, store new data, and perform views and
+formatting of the information stored within the documents.
+
+Requests to the API can be categorised by the different areas of the
+CouchDB system that you are accessing, and the HTTP method used to send
+the request. Different methods imply different operations, for example
+retrieval of information from the database is typically handled by the
+``GET`` operation, while updates are handled by either a ``POST`` or
+``PUT`` request. There are some differences between the information that
+must be supplied for the different methods. For a guide to the basic
+HTTP methods and request structure, see :ref:`api-format`.
+
+For nearly all operations, the submitted data, and the returned data
+structure, is defined within a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) object.
+Basic information on the content and data types for JSON are provided in
+:ref:`json`.
+
+Errors when accessing the CouchDB API are reported using standard HTTP
+Status Codes. A guide to the generic codes returned by CouchDB are
+provided in :ref:`errors`.
+
+When accessing specific areas of the CouchDB API, specific information
+and examples on the HTTP methods and request, JSON structures, and error
+codes are provided. For a guide to the different areas of the API, see
+:ref:`api-overview`.
+
+.. _api-format:
+
+Request Format and Responses
+============================
+
+CouchDB supports the following HTTP request methods:
+
+-  ``GET``
+
+   Request the specified item. As with normal HTTP requests, the format
+   of the URL defines what is returned. With CouchDB this can include
+   static items, database documents, and configuration and statistical
+   information. In most cases the information is returned in the form of
+   a JSON document.
+
+-  ``HEAD``
+
+   The ``HEAD`` method is used to get the HTTP header of a ``GET``
+   request without the body of the response.
+
+-  ``POST``
+
+   Upload data. Within CouchDB ``POST`` is used to set values, including
+   uploading documents, setting document values, and starting certain
+   administration commands.
+
+-  ``PUT``
+
+   Used to put a specified resource. In CouchDB ``PUT`` is used to
+   create new objects, including databases, documents, views and design
+   documents.
+
+-  ``DELETE``
+
+   Deletes the specified resource, including documents, views, and
+   design documents.
+
+-  ``COPY``
+
+   A special method that can be used to copy documents and objects.
+
+If you use the an unsupported HTTP request type with a URL that does not
+support the specified type, a 405 error will be returned, listing the
+supported HTTP methods. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: javascript
+
+    {
+        "error":"method_not_allowed",
+        "reason":"Only GET,HEAD allowed"
+    }
+          
+
+The CouchDB design document API and the functions when returning HTML
+(for example as part of a show or list) enables you to include custom
+HTTP headers through the ``headers`` block of the return object.
+
+HTTP Headers
+============
+
+Because CouchDB uses HTTP for all communication, you need to ensure that
+the correct HTTP headers are supplied (and processed on retrieval) so
+that you get the right format and encoding. Different environments and
+clients will be more or less strict on the effect of these HTTP headers
+(especially when not present). Where possible you should be as specific
+as possible.
+
+Request Headers
+---------------
+
+-  ``Content-type``
+
+   Specifies the content type of the information being supplied within
+   the request. The specification uses MIME type specifications. For the
+   majority of requests this will be JSON (``application/json``). For
+   some settings the MIME type will be plain text. When uploading
+   attachments it should be the corresponding MIME type for the
+   attachment or binary (``application/octet-stream``).
+
+   The use of the ``Content-type`` on a request is highly recommended.
+
+-  ``Accept``
+
+   Specifies the list of accepted data types to be returned by the
+   server (i.e. that are accepted/understandable by the client). The
+   format should be a list of one or more MIME types, separated by
+   colons.
+
+   For the majority of requests the definition should be for JSON data
+   (``application/json``). For attachments you can either specify the
+   MIME type explicitly, or use ``*/*`` to specify that all file types
+   are supported. If the ``Accept`` header is not supplied, then the
+   ``*/*`` MIME type is assumed (i.e. client accepts all formats).
+
+   The use of ``Accept`` in queries for CouchDB is not required, but is
+   highly recommended as it helps to ensure that the data returned can
+   be processed by the client.
+
+   If you specify a data type using the ``Accept`` header, CouchDB will
+   honor the specified type in the ``Content-type`` header field
+   returned. For example, if you explicitly request ``application/json``
+   in the ``Accept`` of a request, the returned HTTP headers will use
+   the value in the returned ``Content-type`` field.
+
+   For example, when sending a request without an explicit ``Accept``
+   header, or when specifying ``*/*``:
+
+   .. code-block:: http
+
+       GET /recipes HTTP/1.1
+       Host: couchdb:5984
+       Accept: */*
+
+   The returned headers are:
+
+   .. code-block:: http
+
+       Server: CouchDB/1.0.1 (Erlang OTP/R13B)
+       Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 13:39:34 GMT
+       Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8
+       Content-Length: 227
+       Cache-Control: must-revalidate
+
+   Note that the returned content type is ``text/plain`` even though the
+   information returned by the request is in JSON format.
+
+   Explicitly specifying the ``Accept`` header:
+
+   .. code-block:: http
+
+       GET /recipes HTTP/1.1
+       Host: couchdb:5984
+       Accept: application/json
+
+   The headers returned include the ``application/json`` content type:
+
+   .. code-block:: http
+
+       Server: CouchDB/|version| (Erlang OTP/R13B)
+       Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 13:40:11 GMT
+       Content-Type: application/json
+       Content-Length: 227
+       Cache-Control: must-revalidate
+
+Response Headers
+----------------
+
+Response headers are returned by the server when sending back content
+and include a number of different header fields, many of which are
+standard HTTP response header and have no significance to CouchDB
+operation. The list of response headers important to CouchDB are listed
+below.
+
+-  ``Content-type``
+
+   Specifies the MIME type of the returned data. For most request, the
+   returned MIME type is ``text/plain``. All text is encoded in Unicode
+   (UTF-8), and this is explicitly stated in the returned
+   ``Content-type``, as ``text/plain;charset=utf-8``.
+
+-  ``Cache-control``
+
+   The cache control HTTP response header provides a suggestion for
+   client caching mechanisms on how to treat the returned information.
+   CouchDB typically returns the ``must-revalidate``, which indicates
+   that the information should be revalidated if possible. This is used
+   to ensure that the dynamic nature of the content is correctly
+   updated.
+
+-  ``Content-length``
+
+   The length (in bytes) of the returned content.
+
+-  ``Etag``
+
+   The ``Etag`` HTTP header field is used to show the revision for a
+   document.
+
+.. _json:
+
+JSON Basics
+===========
+
+The majority of requests and responses to CouchDB use the JavaScript
+Object Notation (JSON) for formatting the content and structure of the
+data and responses.
+
+JSON is used because it is the simplest and easiest to use solution for
+working with data within a web browser, as JSON structures can be
+evaluated and used as JavaScript objects within the web browser
+environment. JSON also integrates with the server-side JavaScript used
+within CouchDB.
+
+JSON supports the same basic types as supported by JavaScript, these
+are:
+
+-  Number (either integer or floating-point).
+
+-  String; this should be enclosed by double-quotes and supports Unicode
+   characters and backslash escaping. For example:
+
+   .. code-block:: javascript
+
+       "A String"
+
+-  Boolean - a ``true`` or ``false`` value. You can use these strings
+   directly. For example:
+
+   .. code-block:: javascript
+
+       { "value": true}
+
+-  Array - a list of values enclosed in square brackets. For example:
+
+   .. code-block:: javascript
+
+       ["one", "two", "three"]
+
+-  Object - a set of key/value pairs (i.e. an associative array, or
+   hash). The key must be a string, but the value can be any of the
+   supported JSON values. For example:
+
+   .. code-block:: javascript
+
+       {
+          "servings" : 4,
+          "subtitle" : "Easy to make in advance, and then cook when ready",
+          "cooktime" : 60,
+          "title" : "Chicken Coriander"
+       }
+           
+
+   In CouchDB, the JSON object is used to represent a variety of
+   structures, including the main CouchDB document.
+
+Parsing JSON into a JavaScript object is supported through the
+``eval()`` function in JavaScript, or through various libraries that
+will perform the parsing of the content into a JavaScript object for
+you. Libraries for parsing and generating JSON are available in many
+languages, including Perl, Python, Ruby, Erlang and others.
+
+.. warning::
+   Care should be taken to ensure that your JSON structures are
+   valid, invalid structures will cause CouchDB to return an HTTP status code
+   of 500 (server error).
+
+.. _errors:
+
+HTTP Status Codes
+=================
+
+With the interface to CouchDB working through HTTP, error codes and
+statuses are reported using a combination of the HTTP status code
+number, and corresponding data in the body of the response data.
+
+A list of the error codes returned by CouchDB, and generic descriptions
+of the related errors are provided below. The meaning of different
+status codes for specific request types are provided in the
+corresponding API call reference.
+
+-  ``200 - OK``
+
+   Request completed successfully.
+
+-  ``201 - Created``
+
+   Document created successfully.
+
+-  ``202 - Accepted``
+
+   Request has been accepted, but the corresponding operation may not
+   have completed. This is used for background operations, such as
+   database compaction.
+
+-  ``304 - Not Modified``
+
+   The additional content requested has not been modified. This is used
+   with the ETag system to identify the version of information returned.
+
+-  ``400 - Bad Request``
+
+   Bad request structure. The error can indicate an error with the
+   request URL, path or headers. Differences in the supplied MD5 hash
+   and content also trigger this error, as this may indicate message
+   corruption.
+
+-  ``401 - Unauthorized``
+
+   The item requested was not available using the supplied
+   authorization, or authorization was not supplied.
+
+-  ``403 - Forbidden``
+
+   The requested item or operation is forbidden.
+
+-  ``404 - Not Found``
+
+   The requested content could not be found. The content will include
+   further information, as a JSON object, if available. The structure
+   will contain two keys, ``error`` and ``reason``. For example:
+
+   .. code-block:: javascript
+
+       {"error":"not_found","reason":"no_db_file"}
+
+-  ``405 - Resource Not Allowed``
+
+   A request was made using an invalid HTTP request type for the URL
+   requested. For example, you have requested a ``PUT`` when a ``POST``
+   is required. Errors of this type can also triggered by invalid URL
+   strings.
+
+-  ``406 - Not Acceptable``
+
+   The requested content type is not supported by the server.
+
+-  ``409 - Conflict``
+
+   Request resulted in an update conflict.
+
+-  ``412 - Precondition Failed``
+
+   The request headers from the client and the capabilities of the
+   server do not match.
+

+CouchDB API Overview
+====================
+
+The components of the API URL path help determine the part of the
+CouchDB server that is being accessed. The result is the structure of
+the URL request both identifies and effectively describes the area of
+the database you are accessing.
+
+As with all URLs, the individual components are separated by a forward
+slash.
+
+As a general rule, URL components and JSON fields starting with the
+``_`` (underscore) character represent a special component or entity
+within the server or returned object. For example, the URL fragment
+``/_all_dbs`` gets a list of all of the databases in a CouchDB instance.
+
+The remainder of the URL API structure can be divided up according to
+the URL structure. The different sections are divided as follows:
+
+-  ``/db``
+
+   Database methods, related to adding, updating or deleting databases,
+   and setting database parameters and operations. For more detailed
+   information, see :ref:`api-db`.
+
+-  ``/db/doc``
+
+   Document methods, those that create, store, update or delete CouchDB
+   documents and their attachments. For more information, see :ref:`api-doc`.
+
+-  ``/db/_local/local-doc``
+
+   Document methods, those that create, store, update or delete CouchDB
+   documents only within the local database. Local documents are not
+   synchronized with other databases. For more information, see
+   :ref:`api-local`.
+
+-  ``/db/_design/design-doc``
+
+   Design documents provide the methods and structure for recovering
+   information from a CouchDB database in the form of views, shows and
+   lists. For more information, see :ref:`api-design`.
+
+-  ``/_special``
+
+   Special methods that obtain or set information about the CouchDB
+   instance, including methods for configuring replication, accessing
+   the logs, and generate Universally Unique IDs (UUIDs). For more
+   information, see :ref:`api-misc`.
+
+-  ``/_config``
+
+   Methods for getting, and settings, CouchDB configuration parameters.
+   For more information, see :ref:`api-config`.

+
+* **Method**: ``GET /_config/section``
+* **Request**: None
+* **Response**: All the configuration values within a specified section
+* **Admin Privileges Required**: yes
+* **Return Codes**:
+
+  * **200**:
+    Request completed successfully.
+
+Gets the configuration structure for a single section. For example, to
+retrieve the CouchDB configuration section values:
+
+.. code-block:: http
+
+    GET http://couchdb:5984/_config/couchdb
+    Accept: application/json
+
+The returned JSON contains just the configuration values for this
+section:
+
+.. code-block:: javascript
+
+    {
+       "os_process_timeout" : "5000",
+       "max_attachment_chunk_size" : "4294967296",

+Gets a single configuration value from within a specific configuration
+section. For example, to obtain the current log level:
+
+.. code-block:: http
+
+    GET http://couchdb:5984/_config/log/level
+    Accept: application/json
+
+Returns the string of the log level:
+
+.. code-block:: javascript
+
+    "info"
+
+.. note::
+   The returned value will be the JSON of the value, which may be a
+   string or numeric value, or an array or object. Some client
+   environments may not parse simple strings or numeric values as valid JSON.
+
+.. _api-put-config:
+
+``PUT /_config/section/key``
+============================
+
+* **Method**: ``PUT /_config/section/key``
+* **Request**: Value structure
+* **Response**: Previous value
+* **Admin Privileges Required**: yes
+* **Return Codes**:
+
+  * **200**:
+    Configuration option updated successfully
+
+  * **500**:

+
+Updates a configuration value. The new value should be supplied in the
+request body in the corresponding JSON format. For example, if you are
+setting a string value, you must supply a valid JSON string.
+
+For example, to set the function used to generate UUIDs by the
+``GET /_uuids`` API call to use the ``utc_random`` generator:
+
+.. code-block:: http
+
+    PUT http://couchdb:5984/_config/uuids/algorithm
+    Content-Type: application/json
+
+    "utc_random"
+
+The return value will be empty, with the response code indicating the
+success or failure of the configuration setting.
+
+``DELETE /_config/section/key``
+===============================
+
+* **Method**: ``DELETE /_config/section/key``
+* **Request**: None
+* **Response**: Previous value
+* **Admin Privileges Required**: yes
+* **Return Codes**:
+
+  * **409**:
+    Supplied revision is incorrect or missing
+
+Deletes a configuration value. The returned JSON will be the value of
+the configuration parameter before it was deleted. For example, to
+delete the UUID parameter:
+
+.. code-block:: http
+
+    DELETE http://couchdb:5984/_config/uuids/algorithm
+    Content-Type: application/json
+
+The returned value is the last configured UUID function:
+
+.. code-block:: javascript
+
+    "random"
