Badly formed bulk insert returns an invalid HTTP response
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-364
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-364
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: HTTP Interface
Affects Versions: 0.9
Environment: Linux 2.6.29.4-162.fc11.x86_64 (Fedora 11)
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.6.5 [source] [64-bit] [smp:4]
[async-threads:0] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false] with OTP R12B
CouchDB 0.9.0
Reporter: Vilya Harvey
Priority: Minor
Trying to do a bulk update via /database/_bulk_docs and passing any unexpected
JSON value as the body (i.e. anything other than a map with the key "docs"
containing the list of documents) causes CouchDB to return an empty response. I
guess it should be returning an error message describing the problem in this
case?
For example, this works correctly and returns the list of inserted documents:
curl -X POST -d '{ "docs": [{"name": "Fred"}, {"name": "Bruce"}] }'
http://localhost:5984/scans/_bulk_docs
But this fails with the error message as below:
curl -X POST -d '[{"name": "Fred"}, {"name": "Bruce"}]'
http://localhost:5984/scans/_bulk_docs
curl: (52) Empty reply from server
(the difference being that the second is just passing through a list of
documents, leaving out the { "docs": ... } wrapper).
