“Connection reset by peer” errors with cl-couch

Written by Dave BarkerTopics: Couchdb, Lisp, Howto

I was getting a lot of “Connection reset by peer” errors on my website, originally I thought it was Hunchentoot or couchDB but it turned out that c-couch was the problem.

To get things working comment out the :content parameter from the call to drakma:http-request inside (defun http-request … )

I’m not sure what those lines do or how they are broken but commenting them out solved the problem for me.

EDIT: The answer is those lines let you update data… whoops. Anyway I figured it out, here’s a patch that fixes the problem properly.

Cheers, Dave.
