curl -X POST http://host:5984/snapsafe_dev/_bulk_docs -Hcontent-type:application/json -d '{"docs": [{"_id":"user_Fri Jul 20 2018 15:30:19 GMT+0200 (CEST)","_rev":"1-4c75286f18e14e76a1ade89d02fa95b7","_deleted":true}]}' B. > On 30 Jul 2018, at 11:45, Andrea Brancatelli <abrancate...@schema31.it> wrote: > > Ok later i’ll try. > > But if it works, it looks like a bug, isn’t? > > Andrea Brancatelli > >> Il giorno 27 lug 2018, alle ore 13:13, Jan Lehnardt <m...@jan.io> ha scritto: >> >> Try %20 instead of the + >> >> Cheers >> Jan >> — >> >>> On 27.
