             Summary: Replication does not work through HTTPS
                 Key: COUCHDB-1672
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1672
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Replication
            Reporter: Frank


Hi there,

First thank you all for this amazing DB that CouchDB is. It makes our life easier, fit well with our project and do really a great job. In the following you will find some details about the issue we encounter while replicating our user databases.

Short description: the replication to an online CouchDB failed when we start the replication from a local CouchDB.

Erlang version: 14A
Operating System: Debian 6 Squeeze wrapped in an OpenVz container.
Host Operating System: Proxmox 2.1

More infos :
* replication works when https is disabled.
* replication fails when https is enabled.
* Https connections works through a browser or an http client such as curl.
* Https connections works through a browser or an http client such as curl if ssl encryption is handled by a Nginx reverse proxy and couchdb is configured to run without https.
* same issues when "verify_certificate" option is set to false
* same issues when the certificate is approved by a certificate authority.
* we tried with two couchdb instances that live on different machines and that talk each other via the web.
* we tried with two couchdb instances that live in different machines that talk each other via a private network.
