cleaner url, support vhosts couchdb config

[mandric]

We should be able to use/change the domain name that points to the rewrite location.

Also improves UX, per Marc

Moving this issue to MMVA

[ghost]

Hey Marc -- it's not an MMVA issue; we need to make changes to the actual couchapp to support this, the MMVA-side changes are already done and easy to tweak.

Specifically: using a proxy rule to map / -> db/_design/db/_rewrite hides the actual database, which breaks the app.

Reopen please?

Thanks.

I was thinking of this more as just the landing site URL, a bit.ly equivalent for those that will type out the address manually - not all URLs. A redirect to the long URL be sufficient for that. The reason I moved it to MMVA was because I imagine this is a nginx setting to include by default in MMVA

We might need a fix in the proxy config that causes this issue during replication https://gist.github.com/mandric/4d2051487552ed1a3c94.

secure_rewrites:false is already in MMVA and allows the rewrite to access the db via ../../ and is currently used in market https://github.com/garden20/garden-market/blob/master/lib/rewrites.js#L52. Similarly we should add something like this to Kujua to allow access to the db and design doc then update any reference to a http requests in the app not accessing a resource via /_rewrite/.
