Description

I have this rewrite:
{
"from": "/u/:key",
"to": "_list/pouch/user-items",
"method": "GET",
"query":

{"key": ":key"}

}
..where the view returns:

{"error":"bad_request","reason":"invalid UTF-8 JSON"}

. The view query looks like this ?key=somekey, but for the view to succeed "somekey" need to be in double quotes.

Maybe one could improve the rewriter's behavior for rewriting strings in queries?

Here is one workaround:
{
"from": "/u/:startkey",
"to": "_list/pouch/user-items",
"method": "GET",
"query": {
"startkey": [":startkey"],
"endkey": [":startkey", {}]
}
},
