kennsippell opened a new issue #1711: cookie_authentication_handler failing to achieve successful cookie auth due to aggressive default timeout
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1711
 
 
   I have a fairly empty clean install of CouchDB with `httpd/authentication_handlers` set to `{couch_httpd_auth, cookie_authentication_handler}, {couch_httpd_auth, default_authentication_handler}
   
   ## Expected Behavior
   
   I'm attempting to authenticate using only a cookie header. Something like:
   
   ```
   curl http://upstream:5984/db -H "Cookie: AuthSession=d29ya2VyOjVCREMzNkRGOoASAazydw8meb2W5VoGcXDPD_UH;" -H "Content-Type: application/json"
   ```
   
   ## Current Behavior
   It isn't working. The debug output for this lookup is:
   
   ```
   [notice] 2018-11-02T13:01:56.383470Z couchdb@127.0.0.1 <0.29344.42> 41bae4dc6e upstream:5984 127.0.0.1 undefined GET /db 400 ok 0
   [debug] 2018-11-02T13:02:02.431594Z couchdb@127.0.0.1 <0.29314.42> 699405e1e2 cache hit for worker
   [debug] 2018-11-02T13:02:02.431645Z couchdb@127.0.0.1 <0.29314.42> 699405e1e2 timeout 600
   ```
   
   ## Possible Solution
   Just to see if the timeout was blocking the lookup, I increased it to 3000 (didn't work) and 30000 (does work!)  Even with this massive timeout, the lookup seemed almost instantaneous (like couple ms not 300 seconds).
