No need to send, you were right on the money. Duh, I had been staring and not seeing for too long. Thanks for the pointer. Let this sit in the archive as a lesson to other fluffy would-be dbadmins.

Cheers,
Mr. Fluffier.

Dear Mr Fluffy,

Could you show the requests you are performing? It seems you might be
confusing the _replicate endpoint and the _replicator database.

Hi,

I'm running couchdb 1.2.0, compiled from source on Linux RHEL6.
I am trying to find the programmable API for managing remote replication.
Per this doc, https://gist.github.com/832610**, my replication
configurations should be appearing as docs in the _replicator database.

This works, /as long as I work through Futon/.  To cancel replication, I
delete the doc (through Futon) - setting 'cancel' to true, as specified
here http://stackoverflow.com/**questions/7395259/listing-**
active-replications-in-**couchdb-1-1-0<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7395259/listing-active-replications-in-couchdb-1-1-0>,
does not work.

If I post with curl, specifying source, target, and optionally _id ...
then replication kicks off, but no document is created in _replicator.  Nor
does the ondisk file change.  As such, I can only cancel by bouncing the DB
(which works because the replication hasn't been saved).  I cannot delete
the document, it just says 'not found'.

I have searched for mention of this elsewhere, but I cannot find threads
or posts of others seeing this.  Am I doing something silly?

Mr Fluffy.
