NCBC-577: Enable IriParsing for supporting Views w/Couchbase Server 3.0
This fixes a breaking change in how Couchbase Server 3.0 handles view queries by associating a UUID with a bucket and how System.Uri handles unicode encoding across different versions of the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR).

Workaround
In addition to the patch released with Couchbase .NET SDK version 1.3.8, add the following element to your App.Config or Web.Config to enable support for all SDK and Server versions.
Customers who are not ready or cannot upgrade their Couchbase .NET SDK’s to 1.3.8 or greater are strongly advised to add this element to their deployments if they intend to use the Couchbase .NET SDK with Couchbase Server 3.0 or greater.
Please confirm if both 1.3.8 client and iripasing are required or just updating the client to 1.3.8.
In addition, Microsoft has a vulnerability with iriparsing which is addressed with a patch here --> https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/ms14-057.aspx. Folks may not be able to enable iriparsing until that patch is installed.
Thanks,
