Updating the docs for Apache as SSL and auth
I've got a complete set of working steps for installing on Amazon Linux,
and also for setting up Apache as a front end SSL proxy with authentication.
The only places I could find for hints on how to do this were fairly
scattered, and for instance there's no link in the CouchDb docs for
proxy auth to what fields you need to pass.
I'd like to add these to the docs, but the newer Wiki
(http://docs.couchdb.org/en/1.6.1/install/unix.html) has broken links to
'edit on github'.
What's the correct URL ?
Or should I be editing the older wiki (
https://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Apache_As_a_Reverse_Proxy ) ?

I figured it might be split out, so created a new "configuring" section
after "installing".
I also dropped some security advice there too.

Awesome. The Amazon Linux page is up :
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COUCHDB/Amazon+Linux
I didn't see a good place in the tree to create the pages for Apache SSL
and proxy. Should I just start a new section ("Apache as a proxy") ?

I wasn't reading that because it appears to be for the unreleased
CouchDb 2.0

This issue goes from significant changes of couchdb repository. Older
docs builds still remember the days when documentation was not in own
repository. All these issues are fixed for lastest docs:
http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/

Ah ha.
I'm "tchiverton" on the Apache wiki.
Maybe just remove the 'edit on github' ? Replace with a link to the real
Wiki rather than the docs.couchdb.org pages (is the just a regular
export or something ?)

Hi Tom!
The new wiki is located here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COUCHDB
If you want to contribute such instructions, it's the best place for them.
Please let me know your login there in order to grant you permissions.
P.S. "Edit on Github" link is really broken. Will think that, thanks for
report!
