Is there any reason why, if you POST a document to a database and that document has an "_id" member, why this is ignored and a server-generated _id is used instead?
$ curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/sample {"ok":true} $ curl --data-binary '{"_id":"foo","bar":"baz"}' -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5984/sample {"ok":true,"id":"f38341efa1ca9bebc528b452aa036846","rev":"1-4165745669"} This seems inconsisent with a POST to _bulk_docs $ curl --data-binary '{"docs":[{"_id":"foo","bar":"baz"}]}' -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5984/sample/_bulk_docs [{"id":"foo","rev":"1-1298018621"}] Thanks, Brian.
