Rewrite URL Follower

npm On-Site and npm-registry-couchapp store package URLs in their database. These URLs represent the full canonical path to package tarballs. If the database ends up with the wrong URL for a package it will become inaccessible.

Situations which can result in an invalid URL:

• the wrong URL was written to the database
• the URLs contain the external IP address of the registry and the IP has changed
• the URLs contain the external domain name of the registry and the domain has changed

rewrite-url-follower solves this problem! simply point this tool at your CouchDB database, and it will rewrite the package URL for you.
