[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-1328) whitespace in config values is significant and causes crashes

["Rogutės Sparnuotos (Commented JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1328?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13141759#comment-13141759 ] 

Rogutės Sparnuotos commented on COUCHDB-1328:
---------------------------------------------

Funny how JIRA interevened and deleted the additional space before "snappy". Or perhaps I mispelled?
Pardon the tests below.
2 spaces:
file_compression =  snappy 
3 spaces
file_compression =   snappy

> Same problem with lots of other settings, e.g. port, bind_address.
