[jira] Created: (COUCHDB-209) Refine httpd_db_handlers API to map
the externals from paths directly to scripts
Refine httpd_db_handlers API to map the externals from paths directly to scripts
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-209
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-209
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HTTP Interface
Affects Versions: 0.9
Environment: all
Reporter: Jeff Hinrichs
We could change the API to map the externals from paths directly to
scripts, like
[httpd_db_handlers]
_mypath = {couch_httpd_external, handle_external_req, "/path/to/my/script"}
which would be fine by me.
The current code is like it is because the original implementation was
designed to have multiple scripts mounted at the /db/_external path.
Do you mind opening a ticket about this? - I'm happy to write the code
but I'm supposed to be working on the book right now, so it'll have to
wait.
link to mail list thread:

It would appear to be a good solution to allow the flexibility desired while narrowing the number of local.ini edits to accomplish.

[jira] Commented: (COUCHDB-209) Refine httpd_db_handlers API to map

Paul Joseph Davis commented on COUCHDB-209:
-------------------------------------------
I've been thinking about this ticket for a bit. I understand the desire to minimize the number of INI edits etc, but something keeps bothering me about removing the [external] section entirely.
Also, is this really 0.9 blocking? I would vote that this isn't an API incompatibility.

I think I agree with Paul - I'm not exactly sure what I'd change here...
I think this may be tied up in the larger refactor of show/list and OTPification of CouchDB into different applications. I'm moving this ticket from 0.9
If you're using _external and you have a concrete proposal (for how you'd like configuration to be different, please attach a well-commented ini file that illustrates the difference between how it is now, and how you'd like it to be.)
Maybe this ticket is just asking for something simple, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around exactly what.
