I know that - but not only do you have to ask explicitly to be told that there are conflicts, you have to fetch each one individually. > Do you mean that something like `include_docs` would be handy here? Yes. I think the default if you ask for a doc shoule be to get all versions of it, not just one arbitrary version. Here is an example of what I mean, in code. ----- 8< ----- require 'rubygems' require 'restclient' require 'json' require 'pp' DB="http://127.0.0.1:5984/test"; RestClient.delete DB rescue nil RestClient.put DB, {}.to_json doc = {"_id"=>"test","hello"=>"world","_attachments"=>{ "foo"=>{"content_type"=>"text/plain","data"=>["This is a test"].pack("m").chomp}, "bar"=>{"content_type"=>"text/plain","data"=>["This is unchanged"].pack("m").chomp}, }} RestClient.post("#{DB}/_bulk_docs", {'docs'=>[doc],'all_or_nothing'=>true}.to_json) doc["_attachments"]["foo"]["data"] = ["This is change"].pack("m").chomp RestClient.post("#{DB}/_bulk_docs", {'docs'=>[doc],'all_or_nothing'=>true}.to_json) # Problem 1: how to retrieve all conflicting versions of a document quickly? # Best I can do is this: docs = [] res = RestClient.get("#{DB}/test?conflicts=true") doc = JSON.parse(res) more_revs = doc.delete('_conflicts') docs << doc more_revs.each do |rev| docs << JSON.parse(RestClient.get("#{DB}/test?rev=#{rev}")) end pp docs # (Note: if you misspell 'conflicts' then it is silently ignored) # Problem 2: now you have the conflicting versions, how do you tell which # of the attachments is different, without downloading them all? ----- 8< ----- Regards, Brian.
