> Key: COUCHDB-1337
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1337
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.1.1
> Reporter: Jacob Wright
> Assignee: Robert Newson
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.2, 1.2.1, 1.3

> Attachments:

>
>
> Currently attachments use the revision number of the document they're
> attached to for their ETag. This can be inefficient if many attachments are
> added, removed, or modified on the same document. Example: a website's assets
> might be stored on a document. Whenever one file is changed every file on the
> website drops out of cache.
> If we could use the MD5 of the attachment for the ETag then any caches
> (including the browser's) will not drop unchanged files, even if the document
> to which they are attached is modified.
