Description

Couch uses the erlang stdlib module regexp, which is deprecated and set to be removed. It should use the module re instead. re is not a drop in replacement for regexp, it operates on and returns binary strings instead of native strings.

Affects files couch_config.erl, couch_config_writer.erl, couch_httpd.erl, couch_httpd_server.erl, couch_log.erl and couch_server.erl.
