I've been using couchdb-python and ran into the 405 when I tried to
attachments. At first I thought it was the couchdb-python interface or my
naive use of same. So I tried curl, see below...
(couch1)j...@jlh-d520:~/Projects/venvs/couch1$ curl -H "Content-Type:
application/octet-stream" -T fm.txt
localhost:5984/delasco-tests/12b7b28c79ff3fdebe5240bc27a0aa44/ -v

I was at 0.8 and getting the 405's so I upped my couchdb to the latest in
svn and the couchdb-python interface appeared to work, attachemnts didn't
create errors but futon was borked when viewing with Firefox 3.0.5 -- it
wouldn't list the contents of the couchdbs and views didn't work in futon.
So I downgraded back to 0.8.1 by svn tags.
I'm betting i've done something rather wrong in my setup or in my use of the
python interface or curl, so if someone wouldn't mind getting out a clue
stick and pointing me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it :)
