Description

I have the following rewrite definition in my design document:

{
			"from": "actors_in_film/:film_id",
			"to": "_list/simple_list/film_actor",
			"query": {
				"include_docs": "true",
				"key":[":film_id",0]
			}
		}

This works. However when I checked out the log, I found the URL was rewritten to include_docs=true&key=%5B%22film_2%22%2C0%5D&film_id=film_2, where the parameter film_id=film_2 does not make any sense! Although this non-sense parameter does nothing to the query, but I would say it is still a bug.

If it is possible also to mention another thing, I would suggest, boolean and numeric values in the query fields (e.g. "limit":"10" and "include_docs":"true") should be able to be specified without double quotes, because it is inconsistent with array (e.g. "key":["film_2",0], where one does not need to put the whole array in double quotes).

BTW, I am using CouchDB 1.5.
