Comment 4 for bug 817656

To help this get more testing, I went ahead and built it in the Novacut Daily Builds PPA:

I've been beating up on it pretty hard, haven't encountered any problems yet. After further thought, perhaps we don't want to change /etc/couchdb/default.ini, should instead keep it the way upstream ships. But regardless, we should make sure desktopcouch is launching CouchDB with:

[httpd]
socket_options = [{recbuf, 262144}, {sndbuf, 262144}, {nodelay, true}]

In one of its config files. Perhaps we should add it to the other static file desktopcouch includes:

  /etc/xdg/desktop-couch/compulsory-auth.ini
