Zachary Zolton updated COUCHDB-190: ----------------------------------- Attachment: COUCH-190.diff Patch to fix COUCH-190: * Changed /_uuids action to GET instead of POST * Added broadly-compatible cache-busting headers to response * Added to unit tests to JavaScript suite > _uuid should respond to GET, not POST > ------------------------------------- > > Key: COUCHDB-190 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-190 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Database Core > Affects Versions: 0.9 > Reporter: Matt Goodall > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.9 > > Attachments: COUCH-190.diff > > > The /_uuid resource can happily return a response to a GET without being > unresty. In fact, supporting POST is probably incorrect as it implies it > would change server state. > Quick summary: > * _uuid never changes server state > * calling _uuid multiple times does not impact other clients > * that the resource returns something different each time it is requested > does not mean it cannot be a POST > * GET with proper cache control (i.e. don't cache it ever) will work equally > well > Full discussion can be found on the user m.l., > http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-user/200901.mbox/%3c21939021.1440421230910477169.javamail.serv...@perfora%3e. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
