Re: Cohesive description of request handling

Hi,

what exactly are you looking for? CouchDB uses MochiWeb for
all the HTTP grunt work and defines a list of http_*_handlers
that are the various endpoints of the API that then call into
the internal CouchDB API. What bits and pieces do you see
not connected?

Cheers
Jan

Hi Howard,

I still don't know what you are looking for. Can you explain
in a little more detail?

Cheers
Jan

I'm new to erlang (in fact, the point of CouchDB is I don't have to
know erlang). That puts me at a disadvantage in terms of going from
configuration to actual processing.
