I agree, that quote is very misleading! It seems to be confusing “connection”
with “request”: HTTP requests are stateless, but the network transport will
reuse a TCP connection across multiple requests. Someone should rewrite it.
The quote appears here:
http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/intro/api.html#revisions
It appears at a lot of other URLs, says Google, but it seems to originate from
the “Complete Guide” book at http://guide.couchdb.org.
