Comment 11 for bug 451809

I faced this issue with my program too.
Database created but server returns 400 error code.
To reproduce this issue you can delete database, which application used.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./bin/engnotify", line 55, in <module>
    en = Engnotify()
  File "/home/yura/Projects/python/engnotify/engnotify/engnotify.py", line 40, in __init__
    self.database = CouchDatabase('engnotify', create=True)
