Hi list, I'm working on using couch as a script / configuration file repository. Then retrieving the contents as they are updated to various hosts.
The digest produced by the file upload is key to this working for me so I'm not replacing files that are already the same in couch. I've been struggling with attachments that are uploaded as content-type 'text/plain'. I haven't been able to match the md5sum that couch shows me under any circumstance. The text/plain I'm sending up is us-ascii which to my understanding from an md5sum perspective wouldn't be any different represented as UTF-8. When I upload a file without a content-type of text/plain, I find the md5sum representation is accurate. I've also noticed the headers when retrieving a text/plain attachment show as: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: CouchDB/1.2.0 (Erlang OTP/R15B02) ETag: "2DvSqQDg7SoM+Su+Ymkt4A==" Date: Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:36:37 GMT Content-Type: text/plain Content-Length: 8840 Cache-Control: must-revalidate Accept-Ranges: none Versus something encoded differently: Server: CouchDB/1.2.0 (Erlang OTP/R15B02) ETag: "tDK39M3il/9xLqnYLosWKg==" Date: Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:44:42 GMT Content-Type: application/x-perl Content-MD5: tDK39M3il/9xLqnYLosWKg== Content-Length: 7080 Cache-Control: must-revalidate Accept-Ranges: bytes Which produces a 'Content-MD5' that I can verify / duplicate. What am I missing? Are md5s not generated for text/plain?
