Hello,
When PUTting a document with attachments in MIME multipart/related format,
CouchDB (1.2.0 on Mac OS X) throws a badmatch error in
doc_from_multi_part_stream() if any bytes are following the final boundary.
For example, if the last body part ends with
\r\n==1234==\r\nabc
the error reads
[error] [emulator] Error in process <0.18266.with exit value: {{badmatch,{<<7
bytes>>,
#Fun<couch_httpd_db.23.117176975>,ok}},[{couch_doc,'-doc_from_multi_part_stream/2-fun-1-',3,[{file,"/Users/hs/prj/build-couchdb/dependencies/couchdb/src/couchdb/couch_doc.erl"},{line,512}]}]}
where <<7 bytes>> is 2 + the number of bytes following the two ending hyphens
(5 in this example). Everything works fine if the last body part ends with two
hyphens only (i.e. the epilogue is left blank).
However, according to RFC 1521 Sec. 7.2.1
(<http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc1341/7_2_Multipart.html>), "implementations
should ignore anything that appears before the first boundary or after the last
one".
Regards,
Peter
