I’m looking into faking external attachments by rewriting all attachment 
related requests in a reverse proxy so that they go to and from a storage 
service e.g. S3. From the clients point of view it should be “as if” the 
attachments were in the database.

Rewriting the requests listed here 
http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/api/document/attachments.html 
<http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/api/document/attachments.html> should not be 
a problem. However, I’m unsure whether there are any other attachment related 
requests that we might need to take into account. I’m in particular worried 
about the scenario where a CouchDB with internal attachments syncs up with a 
database behind the proxy. What is the API for attachments during 
sync/replication?
Best Regards,

Robert Nagy
