Marcello Nuccio commented on COUCHDB-941: ----------------------------------------- I add it here since I think it is non obvious: The workaround is be sure to specify ?limit=1 or some similarly restrictive query. > Make CouchDB benefit more from ETag caching > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: COUCHDB-941 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-941 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Database Core > Affects Versions: 1.0.1 > Reporter: Randall Leeds > Original Estimate: 504h > Remaining Estimate: 504h > > Right now couch_httpd processes HEAD requests as a GET and leaves it to > MochiWeb to drop the response body. It would be good if some ETag metadata > could be passed through the code such that we avoid disk operations when the > ETag matches. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
