Description

I just noticed this.

$ curl -i http://localhost:5984//
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Server: CouchDB/1.2.0 (Erlang OTP/R15B)
Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2012 08:48:46 GMT
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 53
Cache-Control: must-revalidate

{"error":"unknown_error","reason":"function_clause"}

That's weird. Usually CouchDB strips trailing slashes:

$ curl http://localhost:5984/x/////

{"db_name":"x","doc_count":1,...}

$ curl http://localhost:5984/x/blah/////
{"_id":"blah","_rev":"2-6c4b3bc6c2fdc5043139942dc6f1b994","_attachments":{"out.txt" ...

$ curl http://localhost:5984/x/blah////out.txt///////
Hello, world!
