Randall Leeds commented on COUCHDB-642:
---------------------------------------
Oh. I have this work already done. I'll double check that the preference
ordering makes sense. I don't have any philosophical objection to allowing it
in the URL and the way I've written it already asserts that if it's present in
more than one place it has to match everywhere or it's a bad request.

> A DELETE request lets you append ?rev=xxxx to the URL. But this doesn't work
> with a PUT request; you have to put the _rev in the body instead (even though
> the _id is taken from the URL path)
> $ curl -X PUT -d "{}"
> http://brianadmin:[email protected]:5984/briantest/foo
> {"ok":true,"id":"foo","rev":"1-967a00dff5e02add41819138abb3284d"}
> $ curl -X PUT -d "{}"
> http://brianadmin:[email protected]:5984/briantest/foo?rev=1-967a00dff5e02add41819138abb3284d
> {"error":"conflict","reason":"Document update conflict."}
> $ curl -X PUT -d '{"_rev":"1-967a00dff5e02add41819138abb3284d"}'
> http://brianadmin:[email protected]:5984/briantest/foo
> {"ok":true,"id":"foo","rev":"2-7051cbe5c8faecd085a3fa619e6e6337"}
> Allowing ?rev in the URL would make PUT and DELETE more consistent, and would
> allow you to replace an existing JSON doc with another one without having to
> merge the _rev into it first.
