CouchDB Returning Different Responses/Errors
I am working my way through the online version of the O'Reilly book
"CouchDB: The Definitive Guide" by Anderson, Lehnardt and Slater.
I am on Chapter 3 "Getting Started". I've downloaded and started CouchDBX,
but am getting errors, or at least different responses, when I run the first
few commands in chapter 3.
For example:
silverlight:~ stevea$ curl http://127.0.0.1:5984/
{"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"0.10.0"}
silverlight:~ stevea$ curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:5984/_all_dbs_
{"error":"error","reason":"illegal_database_name"}
silverlight:~ stevea$ curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/baseball
curl: (52) Empty reply from server
Any ideas?
Thanks

May be CouchDBX didn't start properly the first time or something, as when I
closed it down and restarted it, its top two frames were displayed, when
previously they were blank (previously only the messages in the bottom pane
were displayed, there was no CouchDB logo, etc).
After that, everything worked fine (especially once I opened my eyes and saw
it was _all_dbs and not _all_dbs_).
Thanks for your help.

this should be:
curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:5984/_all_dbs
hopefully that will help.

this should respond with {"ok":true}
if it isn't than maybe there's a problem with your CouchDB. Have you
tried running the test suite from Firefox? It is available at
