Phil May created COUCHDB-3373:
---------------------------------
Summary: POST to _changes times out if a POST body is present and
the "filter" query parameter is set to something other than _doc_ids
Key: COUCHDB-3373
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-3373
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: HTTP Interface
Reporter: Phil May
CouchDB version – 2.0.0
Platform – Mac
Client – CURL
In CouchDB 2.0.0, if I do a POST to _changes, and I have the filter query
parameter set to point to my design document, and I also have a superfluous
JSON message body in the POST request, the request times out. If, however,
there is no JSON body in the POST request, I get the expected behavior (correct
filtered _changes response). I would expect the superfluous JSON body to be
ignored if present, and for both to work the same (see examples below).
Unfiltered POSTs to _changes (no "filter" query param) work with or without a
POST request body. POSTs to _changes with the query parameter set to
"filter=_doc_ids", but with an unexpected JSON body, return a reasonable error
– {"error":"bad_request","reason":"`doc_ids` filter parameter is not a list of
doc ids."}
As an aside – in CouchDB 1.6, filtered POSTs to _changes work with or without a
superfluous message body in the POST request (the request body is ignored).
It would be nice if CouchDB 2.0 behaved like 1.6, where the superfluous request
body is simply ignored since it's not relevant to the request (i.e., the
"filter" parameter is set, but not set to "_doc_ids").
Examples (I would expect these to behave identically):
