I think your "image\/png" is just an artifact of your printing method,
you don't need to escape the forward slash in content_type, see
example below;
{"_id":"doc1","_rev":"1-96e2a6c78b8bfb227e79e1fbb16873f9","_attachments":{"att1":{"content_type":"image/png","revpos":1,"digest":"md5-XUFAKrxLKna5cZ2REBfFkg==","length":5,"stub":true}}}
