Paul Joseph Davis commented on COUCHDB-891:
-------------------------------------------
I think the remedy of longer lists is that you use POST. I think the concern is
fine, but its not like we don't have the same concern for anything else that's
user specifiable and appears in the URL. For instance, there's no length limit
on document id's or attachment names which can hit the same URL length issue.
Also, the method allows for cacheing when the POST method doesn't.
> Allow ?keys=["a","b"] for GET to _view and _list
