Description

Couch has a fast but simple erlang-based rewriter/url rewriter. This could be greatly improved, or possibly completely factored out as a plugin to allow using the extensive library of NodeJS routers, or provider better support for nginx/apache2 front-end proxies. But it needs to be fast.
