Robert Newson resolved COUCHDB-2054. ------------------------------------ Resolution: Fixed Fix Version/s: 1.7.0 > Content-Encoding on requests is ignored; should decode or return 415 > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: COUCHDB-2054 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2054 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Bug > Security Level: public(Regular issues) > Components: HTTP Interface > Reporter: Jens Alfke > Fix For: 1.7.0 > > > CouchDB (as of 1.4) seems to ignore the "Content-Encoding" header on > requests, and just parses the request body with no decoding. This causes > incorrect behavior — most often it tries to parse the encoded data as JSON > and will fail and return 400. > CouchDB should either decode the request body (e.g. unzip it), or else return > a 415 status. Decoding would be quite useful: requests with large JSON bodies > (like revs_diff or the POST form of all_docs) can have their size cut in half > by gzip encoding. > HTTP 1.1 spec for Content-Encoding: > http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.11 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
