For documents with attachments in multipart format, document object MUST contains an _attachments field with the following fields per attachment: content_type, length, but instead of data with base64 encoded content, there should be "follows": true field be which signs that the attachment content goes in next body parts. See http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/replication/protocol.html#fetch-changed-documents for an example. > Cloudant DBs do not return this multipart/mixed > response no matter how much I try, they return a strange JSON array. Their response is similar to CouchDB one if you explicitly accept application/json. However, for handling attachments in this case you need to additionally pass attachments=true query parameter and get ready to deal with a huge json blob which could ruin your client. -- ,,,^..^,,,
