[jira] Created: (COUCHDB-967) CouchDB create database response
error is wrong
CouchDB create database response error is wrong
-----------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-967
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-967
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Database Core
Affects Versions: 1.0.2, 1.1, 1.2, 2.0
Environment: Mac OS X Snow Leopard
Reporter: Filippo Fadda
Priority: Minor
When you try to create a database with a "/" inside name, the following error is returned. For example:
--------------------------------------------
Database name: /invalid/name/
--------------------------------------------
_ using cURL _
http://127.0.0.1:5984/invalid/name/
HTTP Status Code: 404 Not Found
CouchDB Error: not_found
CouchDB Reason: no_db_file
Now, the documentation says:
"A database must be named with all lowercase letters (a-z), digits (0-9), or any of the _$()+-/ characters and must end with a slash in the URL. The name has to start with a lowercase letter (a-z). "
But we know that a database name can't contain the "/" character, but it must end with "/". So the documentation is wrong and the reported error is wrong too.
CouchDB infast must report the same error provided when you try to create a database named "Invalidname" with the first letter uppercase, like in the following example:
--------------------------------------------
Database name: /Invalidname/
--------------------------------------------
_ using cURL _
http://127.0.0.1:5984/Invalidname/
HTTP Status Code: 400 Bad Request
CouchDB Error: illegal_database_name
CouchDB Reason: Only lowercase characters (a-z), digits (0-9), and any of the characters _, $, (, ), +, -, and / are allowed. Must begin with a letter.

[jira] Commented: (COUCHDB-967) CouchDB create database response

Paul Joseph Davis commented on COUCHDB-967:
-------------------------------------------
For the first one, you're not escaping the slash. Perhaps teh docs should be updated to mention that those special characters need to be URL escaped.
For the second case, I'm not sure what its doing there unless we're just not being careful to remove a trailing slash maybe.
