Subject: Authentication question
To: user@couchdb.apache.org


Hi,
I am planning to use email address as a user's CouchDB login name.  If I use
a normal user name, I can use the below format for authentication

https://username:password@somedomain.iriscouch.com

But what if my username contains a @ symbol.  How to encode that @ symbol?

Thanks!

Chang

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for the reply.  Authentication works now.  However I am getting a
authorization error on CURL.

{"error":"unauthorized","reason":"You are not authorized to access this
db."}

I have added all these to the reader list: "someone@example.com" and
"someone%40example%2E.com".

In Futon, I am able to login with the email address and successfully
authorize.  But not with command line CURL.

Any idea?

Thanks!

Chang,

urlencoded as in https://email%40domain.tld:pass@domain.tld should work
