Description

On a successful cookie-auth login (POST to _session), CouchDB will redirect the user to the URI specified in the 'next' query parameter. This is useful for adding authentication to applications that can't rely on javascript being enabled on the client. To make this functionality more useful, there should be a complimentary 'fail' redirect.
