I'm leery about having the server emit newlines, when payloads are
signed little things like that can cause headaches.
My preference is a command line script or client that wraps curl and
pretty prints json and emits newlines when appropriate.

Thing is that CouchDB is talking HTTP to curl (or any other HTTP
client)
and not through POSIX interfaces with the OS and other programs. Curl
(or you favourite HTTP client) is doing that. So maybe curl should
add a
newline there to be POSIX compliant. But I can see curl saying "I
don't
touch the payload" for a good reason, too.
I don't really know what's practical now, but I don't think your
argumentation
is tight. Maybe we can bring that before the resident ASF HTTP
experts?
