Same old saw we've talked about a million times. We should add the option to do it via GET as well as POST. Multi-key is only done by POST for now because 90% of the usage would not fit in the limits of a URL length and GET doesn't tend to support request bodies. Multi prefix is the same story, and actually should be wrapped up in a generic multi-query api so we can do multiple discontinuous prefix key startkey limit endkey etc in one request. For this GET would be nice to support as well but practically useful only for the smallest cases. -- Chris Anderson http://jchrisa.net http://couch.io
