Philippe Koenig commented on COUCHDB-348:
-----------------------------------------

@All
I think this discussion goes in the wrong way.
I'm using extensively couch and THE missing point (at this level) is the ability to SET the desired home url for the server AND for each DB
The adding of those two parameters will be the solution for many problems that i solve with a reverse proxy ans some rewriting rules
Vhosts and _rewrites are not enough in many case

See what happens

> As more people are adopting CouchDB, the number of questions along the lines of "All I see is {"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"0.10.0a773399"}, what now?"
> If this page redirected to /_utils/ (or maybe something more user-focussed) when the accept headers included html, we could make the first-time user experience more palatable.
> There's some code in COUCHDB-234 that might be helpful here.
