arg! shame on me! I ignored that curl was giving me that error because CouchDB
did work for me:

{"ok":true,"id":"bob2","rev":"1-7fd06dfd6556031ca52a90777ae50ca2"}

But that is shell only isn't it? Using curl was for the email, but normally I
use this Chrome extension:
http://www.getpostman.com/
I highly recommend it for any REST api, it is a breeze to set up different
authentifications and even more important, to save sample requests
However there is a bug. When I saw the content type error, I thought this
extension was setting the right type.
Here are some screenshots for you to make it work right (and for my bug report
to them)

Hope you like it, it would be great for once after all your help, being able to
make you discover something new that eases your workflow

But my mistake was exploring the code like commented some lines above. Even
I've just found the line for that
https://github.com/couchbase/sync_gateway/blob/master/src/github.com/couchbaselabs/sync_gateway/rest/routing.go#L55

That will prove very useful within a future. And I've just verified such
amazingly useful property is not mentioned in the docs:
http://docs.couchbase.com/sync-gateway
Now looking at generated bucket doc, can't help but have some new doubts:
1. "importdocs", "_sync"... is there any list of Reserved Property Names (along
design document ids) for CouchBase products that developers could use as
reference to avoid future conflicts with our documents?
2. I've just understood how to use the sync functions and map a property tot he
_sync/channels array!
When multiples users access the same bucket and mostly can read only their own
docs:
Is the common practice mapping each user its own channel?
Should I ideally store always the user name / channel as a prefix of
every document "_id" instead using a document property?
I understand the risk of non random 'id' conflicts using
properties, but not sure if there they have any advantage
3. Looking at my bucket, noticed that the same document will show a different
"rev" field when exploring the bucket through the SDK
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s44/sh/fdba6cfc-7543-43ba-b0f1-e22c2308d38b/43e99f8eda51ac855e06b2dcb6b9d6a6
Is that expected? I am concerned about having a mobile app (through gateway) +
web app (through SDK). The SDK is what I have when using Ruby, but it seems
dangerous touching documents considering the info inside "_sync". Should I
prepare to implement my Ruby web app using the gateway? If yes, will CouchRest
(ruby gem) give us the Gateway-SDK for Ruby?
Well, that makes my day! Thanks to you I learnt a lot today. Have a great
weekend Jens!
