Filippo Fadda commented on COUCHDB-947:
---------------------------------------
Good point Jan, I agree. Maybe we should use same approch for the many APIs
that actually are using POST method. For example "/_replicate", "/_compact",
"/_view_cleanup", etc.: all of them are time consuming processes that we can
secure in some way. I think all those functions must use the trick of
"Content-Type: application/json", or better, I suggest to use a well defined
and documented custom header.
I can make a list of all those "special" functions.

> The "/_restart" API requires "Content-Type: application/json" header. This is
> not coherent because the API doesn't need parameters to be passed using JSON.
