Summary
Setting up Proxy Authentication based on the 1.2.8 section of the documentation results in CouchDB crashing.
https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/api/server/authn.html#proxy-authentication
I noticed that the option for Proxy Authentication in the configuration documentation, 3.5, is {couch_httpd_auth, proxy_authentication_handler} not {chttpd_auth, proxy_authentication_handler}
https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/config/http.html#chttpd/authentication_handlers
Setting with couch_httpd_auth works, so I think this is a documentation issue.
Desired Behaviour
Section 1.2.8 of documentation should have {couch_httpd_auth, proxy_authentication_handler} in the setting, so people using that section to set up Proxy Authentication will avoid crashing CouchDB.
