Hmm, I wonder if there is a test that accounts for that (it being an int rather than a string). If not, then I'm sure there is a good reason for it, maybe they allow alpha characters in the rev?
Anyway, glad it helped out :) Brad ----- Original Message ---- From: Jonathan Moss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2008 11:23:59 AM Subject: Re: 412 on update Thanks Bradford, That allowed me to track down the issue. It seems that when the PHP classes serialize the document in json for saving the _rev is cast to an integer. The rev numbers are often larger than the maximum integer value PHP supports and it therefore I end up with a -ve number and the revisions obviously don't match and I get a 412 - conflict. I then cast the value to a float which is done elsewhere in the library. This still resulted in a 412. So I looked at the raw put data from the request and compared it to the raw get data I got in the first place. The only difference was the by casting to a float _rev was encoded as: "_rev":123456789 whereas I received it as: "_rev":"123456789" By casting as a string just before json encoding I now get a much happier 201 status code during my testing. Should the server really be quibbling over the data type? Not a problem if it does but it was a difficult one to track down.
