Hello, the GET part :
$ curl --proxy "" -X GET http://adm:somet...@localhost:5984/_users/org.couchdb.user:joe {"_id":"org.couchdb.user:joe","_rev":"1-3aa8c71e227226e1363a759839a572d8","salt":"ab20f6a8e2cf91be6ce319d86be07a2a0207d7a1","password_sha":"d2fe4ed55fa1ef70b62b737d88890b38e5818106","name":"joe","type":"user","roles":[]} the DELETE part : curl --proxy "" -X DELETE "http://adm:somet...@localhost:5984/_users/org.couchdb.user:joe?rev=1-3aa8c71e227226e1363a759839a572d8"; {"error":"forbidden","reason":"doc.type must be user"} However, like J Chris suggest it, if I use a PUT request, adding the {"_deleted": true} property, it works. Sad but true.
