Re: Disabling 405 Method Not Allowed on POSTs to static pages
Bump. Anyone have some insight on this? Looks like I may have to use a
traditional web server instead of Couch.

Thanks.
>From the docs at http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Rewriting_urls, looks as if
you can specify a request method for matching purposes, then rewrite the
URL, but there's no way to rewrite the method as well.
I'll probably just go HTTP proxy handler route.

Yeah I don't think you can use just couch. Might have to have a proxy in front of it. To my understanding you can't rewrite the URL and the method (POST to GET for example), only the URL. Someone else may have to confirm who knows more about the URL rewrite stuff.... Although someone also may be able to help you tweak the rewrite code to allow it.
