[jira] Updated: (COUCHDB-209) Refine httpd_db_handlers API to map the externals from paths directly to scripts

["Chris Anderson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Chris Anderson updated COUCHDB-209:
-----------------------------------

    Fix Version/s:     (was: 0.9)
                   0.10
         Priority: Major  (was: Blocker)
       Issue Type: Wish  (was: Improvement)

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.

> 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.

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