Hi devs, in COUCHDB-163 we enabled the replicator to download
attachments
without Base64 encoding. We'd like to do the same for push
replication /
attachment uploads.
MIME multipart is one way to go about that. Has anyone put in some
work on
that front? are there other alternatives we should be thinking
about?
Standalone attachment PUT is one option, which would mirror nicely the
pull/GET case.
That wouldn't work for replication because you'd have to post the
documents without attachments, then add attachments in separate steps.
This means the document is in weird not-quite-saved state while
waiting for attachments.
I think we need mime-multipart for replication, that solves all the
problems cleanly.
