Randall Leeds commented on COUCHDB-1268:
----------------------------------------
Patch is finished and as a side affect I think I'm enabling new_edits=false and
batch=true for things like COPY and POST. Speak up if you have a reason for
that not to be the case, but what I've done cleans up couch_httpd_db.erl quite
a bit. Just need to separate the patches into a couple logical chunks and write
a test.

> When PUTting a document you have to specify the current revision as a _rev
> key in the JSON; whereas many related requests (like DELETE, COPY and PUT of
> an attachment) specify the revision in a "?rev=" URL query parameter instead.
> The first example, will result into a document conflict because rev is not
> specified in the JSON and the rev from the url gets ignored. All other
> examples work. I strongly believe JSON bodies like this should never contain
> _id and _rev and will improve in much better client code.
