CouchDB caching attachments that have been overwritten
------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-367
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-367
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.9
Environment: 64-bit Linux (Fedora 11) 2.6.29.4-162.fc11.x86_64 #1 SMP
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.6.5 [source] [64-bit] [smp:4]
[async-threads:0] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]
CouchDB 0.9.0 (installed from the yum packages)
Reporter: Vilya Harvey
I created a document with an image file as an attachment, then replaced the
attachment with a different image. CouchDB still serves the older image instead
of the replacement.
Steps to recreate:
1. Create a new document.
2. Using Futon, upload an image called "test.jpg" as an attachment to the
document.
3. View the attachment to confirm that it's uploaded correctly.
4. Back in Futon, upload a different image with the same filename ("test.jpg")
as an attachment to the document. Futon will correctly report the size of the
new attachment.
5. View the attachment - you will still see the image from step 2.
6. View the attachment in a different web browser, to make sure it's not just
browser caching. You will still see the image from step 2 instead of the newer
one.
BTW I came across this because I was doing some experiments to see whether
CouchDB would keep the attachment revision history for me. So if the above is
the wrong way to create a new version of an attachment, I apologise now!
