Description

In a show or list, it is impossible to construct a full url that an end user could use to re-request the resource, given the various combinations of vhosts and rewrites.
The major one is if the vhost contains a path component, this path information is not passed to the show at all.

I have created three tests that highlight the condition, currently failing for one test, with the two passing to prevent regressions.

I have talked this over with JasonSmith and bennoitc on #couchdb and they asked me to write the tests and raise the jira.
