It's _temp_view, not _tmp_view.
There have been some changes made recently which mean that POSTs which
aren't application/x-form-post are rejected. However names beginning with an
underscore are reserved.
A quick check suggests that things are a bit too lax: a PUT to /db/_tmp_view
actually creates a document with id _tmp_view (I would have thought this
should be rejected?)
I believe it's possible to use POST to create an attachment. Perhaps CouchDB
thinks that your post to /db/_tmp_view is an attempt to create an attachment
on a document whose id is _tmp_view?
It's certainly a very confusing error.
