[jira] Commented: (COUCHDB-321) Futon breaks when used with a reverse proxy

["Mike Frawley (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-321?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12709469#action_12709469 ] 

Mike Frawley commented on COUCHDB-321:
--------------------------------------

Thanks Jack, I was having this same problem which was rather annoying.

I used this simpler logic to get the urlPrefix:

    urlPrefix: window.location.pathname.split("/_utils/")[0]


I'm wondering if prepending the urlPrefix should be done in $.ajaxsetup() instead of every ajax call, which could make it a bit easier to manage.

> It is often convenient to reverse proxy CouchDB at a url like /couch.  Unfortunately, while CouchDB will work perfectly in this situation, Futon cannot handle it as jquery.couch.js uses absolute URLs to access all CouchDB functions.
> I've attached a small patch that fixes this problem by:
> 1. Adding a urlPrefix attribute to $.couch which it uses to construct its URLs.
> 2. Adding logic to the futon.js constructor that figures out a suitable prefix and sets $.couch.urlPrefix to use this.
> Any client code that makes use of $.couch will need to do something similar.  Since only the application and the adminstrator will know what the prefix should be or how to deduce it, I didn't really know of a better way to handle this.
