[jira] [Created] (COUCHDB-3137) "/" path is treated differently from "" path

Dirkjan Ochtman created COUCHDB-3137:
----------------------------------------

             Summary: "/" path is treated differently from "" path
                 Key: COUCHDB-3137
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-3137
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HTTP Interface
            Reporter: Dirkjan Ochtman


I got a bug against CouchDB-Python yesterday, see here:

https://github.com/djc/couchdb-python/issues/303

In it, the reporter explains that requesting the empty path from the database server gets the following response:

{{{"error":"not_found","reason":"Database does not exist."}}}

whereas the path "/" gets this response:

{{{"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"2.0.0-RC4","vendor":{"name":"The Apache Software Foundation"}}}}
