> Find attached a patch that add a proxy authentification handler to couch_httpd_auth. 
> This handler allows creation of a userCtx objec from a user authenticated remotly. The client just pass specific headers to CouchDB and the handler create the userCtx. Headers  name can be defined in local.ini. By thefault they are :
> * X-Auth-CouchDB-UserName : username, (x_auth_username in couch_httpd_auth section)
> * X-Auth-CouchDB-Roles :  user roles, list of roles separated by a comma (x_auth_roles in couch_httpd_auth section)
> * X-Auth-CouchDB-Token : token to authenticate the authorization (x_auth_token in couch_httpd_auth section). This token is an hmac-sha1 created from secret key and username. The secret key should be the same in the client and couchdb node. secret key is the secret key in couch_httpd_auth section of ini. This token is optional if secret key isn't defined.
