I don't see how this would solve the problem of e.g. double invocations of a replicate/compact/purge POST. I'm not sure what kind of delays between double POSTs one needs to deal with, but given that POSTs (and maybe all methods) do have this problem (regardless of whether the error is in the browser stack or middleware), this would seem to be a generic solution that
cannot be solved in the client.


The ingredients for solving it are deterministic revs and
non-colliding client-specified docids.

I must be missing something - how does this stop a double POST to / replicate et al caused by a browser stack or middleware error?

Hi, I'd like to do $THING. I know that $SOLUTION_A and $SOLUTION_B will do it very easily and for a very reasonable price, but I don't want to use $SOLUTION_A or $SOLUTION_B because $VAGUE_REASON and $CONTRADICTORY_REASON. Instead, I'd like your under-informed ideas on how to achieve my $POORLY_CONCEIVED_AMBITIONS using Linux, duct tape, an iPod, and hours and hours of my precious time.
