[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-1416) the requested_path that is passed to a show is wrong on a vhost with a path

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1416?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13214371#comment-13214371 ]

--------------------------------------

Thanks, Ryan.

Hopefully this is a dupe of COUCHDB-981. Caolan?

Firstly, yours would be the first test in the entire JavaScript suite to use vhosts. I do not know if vhosts were avoided all this time by design or accident. I made a small change to your hostname guesser (window.location.host) and it works for me.

Next, this bugfix has a problem. CouchDB has an object, httpd{} which contains a Mochiweb object. Mochiweb is an upstream dependency. I thought this fix would happen by adding a a #httpd.requested_path however all the vhost/rewrite code works exclusively with mochiweb.

So the question is how to remember state through all possible processing of a MochiReq.

> In a show or list, it is impossible to construct a full url that an end user could use to re-request the resource, given the various combinations of vhosts and rewrites. 
> The major one is if the vhost contains a path component, this path information is not passed to the show at all. 
> I have created three tests that highlight the condition, currently failing for one test, with the two passing to prevent regressions.

> I have talked this over with JasonSmith and bennoitc on #couchdb and they asked me to write the tests and raise the jira.
