Public endpoint when couch_httpd_auth.require_valid_user=true

[Matthew Buckett <ma...@it.ox.ac.uk>]

Are there any URLs that requested when
couch_httpd_auth.require_valid_user=true that don't generate an HTTP
401 error?

I'm looking to just check that CouchDB is available and responding.

In CouchDB 2.0 there should be /_up . I'd consider it a bug if that
endpoint required a valid user.

/_up returns {"status":"ok"} if everything is copacetic.

IIRC, no, that's the point of this option. If it responding with 401
then it's actually available and responding (:
