https://github.com/apache/couchdb-couch/pull/226
Allow limiting length of document ID
Previously it was not possibly to define a maxum document ID size. That
meant
large document ID would hit various limitations and corner cases. For
example,
large document IDs could be inserted via a _bulk_docs endpoint but then
trying
to insert the same document via a single HTTP method like PUT would fail
because of a limitation in Mochiweb's HTTP parser.
Let operators specify a maxium document ID length via the:
```
couchdb.max_document_id_length = 0
```
configuration.
The default value of 0 means current behavior where document ID length is
not
checked.

> Allow users / operators to specify maximum document ID length.
> Currently it is easy to break CouchDB by feeding it large IDs through
> _bulk_docs endpoint but which will hit the limits of http parser if sent
> through GET/PUT/DELETE methods. In case those limits are hit the error
> returned is not obvious as the requests would often crash in the mochiweb
> http parser step before a request even makes to CouchDB code.
