+1: -1: 2 (2 binding) -- It looks like we have a draw with weigh-in from the community on a +1 to accept the patch. We need more discussion here. -- I noticed that one reason is the CLI-friendliness of the appended newline. I created "couchcurl", a stupid-simple wrapper around curl that adds a newline: http://github.com/janl/couchcurl/tree/master I wanted this tool for a long time and as you can see in the TODO section, this is indeed quite useful if you can specify default server names and port numbers so you could run couchcurl -X PUT /database-name instead of curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/database-name I hope to get more people to help adding more features. For the moment I like to keep this in sh-script only for maximum compatibility, but I could be persuaded to rewrite it in python or possibly include it in the CouchApp project. Alternatively, we could bundle it with CouchDB. I understand that this does not counter all objections in the +1 camp, but maybe we can get more support on the -1 camp through the community :) Cheers Jan --
