Description

I try to replicate a database with design documents. It fails on it. Here's the log from the server

[info] [<0.4462.0>] 195.226.16.50 - - 'GET' /mydatabase/_changes?style=all_docs&heartbeat=true&since=0&feed=normal 200
[info] [<0.4463.0>] 195.226.16.50 - - 'GET' /mydatabase/_design%2Fmydesign?open_revs=["3-ce4179d8efd6132c211d95e858619051"]&revs=true&latest=true 301
[info] [<0.4465.0>] 195.226.16.50 - - 'GET' /mydatabase/_design/mydesign?open_revs=["3-ce4179d8efd6132c211d95e858619051"]&revs=true&latest=true_design%2Fmydesign?open_revs=["3-ce4179d8efd6132c211d95e858619051"]&revs=true&latest=true 401

Looks like the redirect doesn't send the auth parameters on the second attempt (and the URL looks fishy too, but it works from the browser with the correct auth parameters)

I start the replication with

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5984/_replicate -d '

{"source":"http://admin:*****@example.org:5984/mydatabase/", "target":"mydatabase_rep"}

'
