Robert Newson commented on COUCHDB-769:
---------------------------------------
quick note that we can't use 417 as that's only legal in response to the
inability to fulfill a request with an Expect header.
I think 404 is the correct code but it does expose the loss of atomicity when
using external attachments.
> Store large attachments external to the .couch file
