Description

CouchDB built from trunk r. 649204

When trying to call a non-existing view document the server returns an HTTP 500 message.
It is expected that a 404 message would be returned instead.

Example:

GET /porcupine/_view/wikipage/hierarchy?startkey=%5B%22Home%22%5D&endkey=%5B%22Home%22%2C2%5D HTTP/1.1
Date: Thu, 17 Apr 08 23:41:36 +0300

HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Server: MochiWeb/1.0 (Any of you quaids got a smint?)
Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 20:41:36 GMT
Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8
