Thanks. I'm going to see if I can create such a patch. Time to learn a
bit more about Futon tests.
Also, in the meantime, I'm trying to "hack" the solution by sending a
request body with a GET. It seems that the body reaches my filter
function fine (via req.body), but for some reason the response from
Couch hangs whenever I send the body, even for a filter function that
just returns true.
If I remember correctly, the response was like
{ results: [
and then the curl session just sits there.
My curl command was something like:
curl -d '["id1","id2"]' -X GET $DB/_changes?filter=app/myFunc
The minute I took out the body, the problem went away.
I understand that sending a body with GET is not a standard way of
doing things, but the hanging part was really weird anyway. It was so
close to being a working solution. :-) I can get you more details if
needed.
Thanks for your help.
