This is a follow up to the message from Nov 1 entitled "Creating views using PUT".
In a manner similar to the original poster, I'm trying to create a view using an HTTP POST request. I try to post to http://localhost:5984/somedatabase/_design/myview, but instead of creating a document with an id of "_design/myview", it creates a document with an id of "_design", with an attachment called "myview". The original thread discussed encoding "/" between _design and myview as "%2F". Unfortunately, this technique doesn't work from .Net. The .Net Uri object (and therefore the HttpWebRequest object) automatically unescapes the URI. There doesn't appear to be any way to change this behavior. When we were running CouchDB version 0.9.0a698039 we didn't have to escape the slash character. The latest version (0.9.0a712213) requires this escaping.
