CouchDB 2.0.0 chttpd and authentication_handlers

Hello together,

currently I am using the new CouchDB 2.0.0. Just looking into the new [chttpd] config section (running on port 5984) it does not perform a way to use own authentication_handlers like in the [httpd] config section for the port 5986.

I want to use own authentication handlers (e.g. LDAP authentication or OAuth authentication) for the chttpd interface. In the source code of chttpd_auth.erl I found only default and cookie authentication.

Is there any way to modify the chttpd settings to use exactly the authentication_handlers from httpd?

Thanks

Michael

A patch to hard-code support for proxy authentication is attached to this
