+ == Other Fun Things ==
+ 
+ === Stopping iteration in a `_list` ===
+ 
+ If you want to terminate iteration of a `_list` early you can return a `{stop: true}` JSON object from any of the calls to the function that include a row object.
+ 
+ === Sending a Redirect ===
+ 
+ In the call to `_show` or when `_list` is called with a head object you can control the headers and status code sent to the client. An example of this would be to send a redirect notification.
+ 
+ {{{
+ function(doc)
+ {
+     return {"code": 302, "body": "See other", "headers": {"Location": "/"}};
+ }
+ }}}
+ 
+ {{{
+ function(head, row, req, row_info) {
+   if (head) {
+     return {"code": 302, "body": "See other", "headers": {"Location": "/"}};
+   } else if (row) {
+     return {stop: true};
+   } else {
+     return "."
+   }
+ }
+ }}}

  Hopefully this is enough to get started. For a more complete set of examples, see the CouchDB test suite, especially show_documents.js and list_views.js
