+% This handler allows creation of a userCtx object from a user authenticated remotly.
+% The client just pass specific headers to CouchDB and the handler create the userCtx.
+% Headers name can be defined in local.ini. By thefault they are :
+%
+% * X-Auth-CouchDB-UserName : contain the username, (x_auth_username in
+% couch_httpd_auth section)
+% * X-Auth-CouchDB-Roles : contain the user roles, list of roles separated by a
+% comma (x_auth_roles in couch_httpd_auth section)
+% * X-Auth-CouchDB-Token : token to authenticate the authorization (x_auth_token
+% in couch_httpd_auth section). This token is an hmac-sha1 created from secret key
+% and username. The secret key should be the same in the client and couchdb node. s
+% ecret key is the secret key in couch_httpd_auth section of ini. This token is optional
+% if value of proxy_use_secret key in couch_httpd_auth section of ini isn't true.
