>             Project: CouchDB
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: HTTP Interface
>    Affects Versions: 1.0.2
>         Environment: all, but particularly JQuery
>            Reporter: Dennis Clark
>            Priority: Minor
>              Labels: erlang, javascript, list
>             Fix For: 1.0.3, 1.1, 1.2

>   Original Estimate: 2h
>  Remaining Estimate: 2h
>
> Given a design doc like:
> {
>   views: {whatever...}
>   lists: {myList: function (head, req) { ...}}
> }
> an ajax request in JQuery like:
> $.get("/db/_design/ddoc/_list/myList/whatever", function (data) {...});
> will fail with a 500 error of type function_clause. This appears to be because CouchDB is attempting to parse the empty form it assumes must be there based on the content type and mochiweb's parser fails.
> Of course, if you try the same url in a browser or with curl, it'll work perfectly.
> This may be for deep reasons beyond my ken, but the silent failure of the HTTP API in this case seems like a problem. At the very least, an informative error message would be good.
