You'll have to check the Document api to see if I'm right or not, but
when you PUT a document to a url, is it required to have the
appropriate _id attribute? Something like:
$ curl -X PUT -d '{"_id": "foo", "keys": ["param1", "param2",
"paramN"]}' http://localhost:5984/test/foo
Other than that, you could turn on debug output and see if the stack
trace is informative at all.
This is definitely an odd one. Maybe someone else has run into it?
