> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Components: HTTP Interface
> Reporter: Jens Alfke
> Fix For: 1.7.0

>
> CouchDB (as of 1.4) seems to ignore the "Content-Encoding" header on
> requests, and just parses the request body with no decoding. This causes
> incorrect behavior — most often it tries to parse the encoded data as JSON
> and will fail and return 400.
> CouchDB should either decode the request body (e.g. unzip it), or else return
> a 415 status. Decoding would be quite useful: requests with large JSON bodies
> (like revs_diff or the POST form of all_docs) can have their size cut in half
> by gzip encoding.
> HTTP 1.1 spec for Content-Encoding:
> http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.11
