problem with couchdb behing nginx
Hi,
I would like to use couchdb (last trunk) behind nginx so I use this
configuration :
server {
listen 80;
server_name couchdb;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5984;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Port $proxy_port;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}
But it doesn't work. I can access to futon, and other pages, but db
aren't listed and basically I can't do anything on the db. Same result
whe I use a python script that acess to couchdb via nginx. Is there
something I missed ? It's really weird anyway.

I provided a patch to fix this problem. No more chunk are sent when
you ask for an http 1.0 answer (which is the case of nginx and other
proxies).
This patch provide valid http 1.0 : no chunk and content-length. It
also fix couch.js to have a valid request header over such proxy (body
can't be null). This patch don't break http 1.1 comatibility. So if
you converse with couchdb in http 1.1 everything works as usual.
Patch :
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12380544/compat_http10_couchdb_r649048.diff
issue related to this problem :
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-40
ok for this ?

in fact it should be related to the response send by couchdb server.
Nginx wait for a valid HTTP/1.0 response and get http chunked :
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-40
since all the requests are done behind the proxy, I don't think it
could be a cross-scripting issue, I will investigate on it anyway :)

My first guess would be that this is related to most browsers not
allowing cross-site scripting. But looking at the log, the request
actually takes place..
You want to make sure, not only to proxy one-way, but also to
reverse-proxy. (that made all the difference for me proxying on
apache2)
Perhaps you should check the javascript-error-console and see if there
is anything there.
Does manually retrieving the list of databases work?
http://127.0.0.1:5984/_all_dbs
If so, the error has to do with proxying and cross-site-scripting
security of the browser.
Greetings,
Ralf
