nano options lost in DB scope

[jo]

Originally posted by @tlvince as https://github.com/eHealthAfrica/couchdb-bootstrap/issues/28, reposted here for convenience:

If you pass in a nano config as the url, e.g. to set requestDefaults (#14):

bootstrap({
  url: 'http://localhost:5984',
  requestDefaults: {
    auth: {
      user: 'admin',
      pass: 'admin'
    }
  }
}, 'path/to/fs', cb)

… requestDefaults is lost after nano.use, for example in secure:

// ...
var dbname = utils.mapDbName(filename, options)
var db = couch.use(dbname)
console.log('couch: ', couch.config, '\ndb: ', db.config)
// =>
// couch:  { url: 'http://localhost:5984',
//  requestDefaults: { jar: false, auth: { user: 'admin', pass: 'admin' } },
//  defaultHeaders: { 'X-Couch-Full-Commit': 'true' } } 
// db:  { url: 'http://localhost:5984', db: '_users' }

In this case, this will cause subsequent requests to 401 (You are not authorized to access this db.).

Perhaps this is an issue with nano itself (apache/nano#278)?
