ricellis commented on issue #2666: soft-deletion for database URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/2666#issuecomment-608532116 OK, so now the `POST` can only do an undelete couldn't the body just be: ``` { "source_timestamp": "2020-04-01T07:13:42Z", "source": "db01", } ``` That also removes the awkward naming around `undelete` that I know was bothering some people. Also given `DELETE /_deleted_dbs/{dbName}` shouldn't we also `POST /_deleted_dbs/{dbName}` since they are operating on the same resource? Then the body would be just (or also with an optional `target`): ``` { "source_timestamp": "2020-04-01T07:13:42Z" } ``` Although I think the parameter name in the body should match that used on the `DELETE` request as well; either both `timestamp` or both `source_timestamp`. It seems like it would be nice to use paths consistently throughout as [@mikerhodes proposed](https://gist.github.com/mikerhodes/39c66576eee468a5aeaa23c5715aec9a), but I can see the rationale for preferring to use `key=dbname` to be consistent with the view-like APIs.
