flimzy opened a new issue #1042: Improve CouchDB's understanding of multipart/related PUT requests URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1042 At present, to send a multipart/related PUT request to CouchDB, each attachment's length must be known beforehand, to create a JSON body such as: ```json { "_id":"doc_id", "_attachments":{ "foo.txt": { "content_type": "text/plain", "following": true, "length": 13 } } } ``` This defeats part of the benefit of using multipart/related to send attachments. It would be nice if the `length` field could be omitted from the attachment stub, and instead inferred from the actual size of the respective part. This would make it possible to write more efficient client code.
