An _update function should be able to compute the resulting doc _id based on the provided input. This is especially useful for directly processing HTML form input. Unfortunately, the _update function has no way of knowing if that id is taken already. It blindly passes the document back to Erlang which might return a (IIRC) 201, or might return 409. I do not know what the best solution is but I wouldn't be surprised if it required a protocol change. -- Jason Smith Couchio Hosting
