> Reject documents whose ids start with underscore

> Key: COUCHDB-332
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-332
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HTTP Interface
> Environment: 0.10.0a767851
> Reporter: Brian Candler
> Assignee: Paul Joseph Davis
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.10

> docids which start with underscore are reserved for CouchDB. I believe they
> should be rejected to avoid confusion.
> Currently observed behaviour:
> (1) an attempt to PUT to /db/_docid succeeds, and creates a document whose ID
> starts with an underscore
> $ curl -X PUT -d "{}" http://127.0.0.1:5984/foo/_xxx
> {"ok":true,"id":"_xxx","rev":"1-1751372641"}
> (2) a POST to /db/_docid tries to do something and fails; possibly it could
> succeed given the right headers and body.
> $ curl -X POST -d "{}" http://127.0.0.1:5984/foo/_yyy
> {"error":"bad_content_type","reason":"Invalid Content-Type header for form
> upload"}
> -- status line show 415 Unsupported Media Type
> This means that typos can result in confusing error messages; for example, a
> POST to /db/_tmp_view instead of /db/_temp_view. IMO it would be cleaner
> first to test the docid and reject it on that basis.
> (Sorry, I am not including a test suite submission. It will be much easier
> for someone who already knows their way around the rather large set of
> private libraries which the test suite contains. I currently use Ruby to talk
> to CouchDB, not ECMAscript)
