Michael Fellinger commented on COUCHDB-891:
-------------------------------------------
If you don't know the size of the keys, you can use POST, I'm not advocating
this as a replacement, but as an alternative.
My typical usage is to lookup up to a handful of keys, of known size, that fit
comfortably in any URI.
I recently hit an issue while trying to implement a _list document for
FreeSWITCH (FS) configuration, that is queried directly.
Unfortunately, i cannot redirect or rewrite the request for a _list with keys
via POST, and I cannot modify the way FS does its queries, so I had to put a
middleware in front just to handle this query for me.
With GET, it would be trivial to handle this case, I'd leave it to the
developer to decide whether to use GET or POST.
> Allow ?keys=["a","b"] for GET to _view and _list
