Specify attachment encoding for couchdb
Hi,
I have the following test script:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import os
import couchdb
GREEK = u'ΑΒΓΔ ΕΖΗΘ ΙΚΛΜ ΝΞΟΠ ΡΣΤΥ ΦΧΨΩ αβγδ εζηθ ικλμ νξοπ ρςτυ φχψω'
# Prepare a unicode file, encoded using ENCODING
ENCODING = 'utf-8'
filename = '/tmp/test'
open(filename, 'w').write(GREEK.encode(ENCODING))
# Create an empty document
server = couchdb.Server()
db = server['cdb-tests']
doc_id = 'testing'
doc = { }
db[doc_id] = doc
# Attach the file to the document
content = open(filename, 'rb') # Open the file for reading
db.put_attachment(doc, content, content_type='text/plain')
As you can see, the file is utf-8 encoded, but when I attach that file to
couchdb, I have no way to specify this encoding. Thus, requesting the
attachment at http://localhost:5984/cdb-tests/testing/test returns the
following Response Headers:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: CouchDB/1.2.0 (Erlang OTP/R15B01)
ETag: "7y85tiUeF/UX9kqpKAzQEw=="
Date: Fri, 03 Jan 2014 13:43:36 GMT
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-MD5: 7y85tiUeF/UX9kqpKAzQEw==
Content-Length: 102
Content-Encoding: gzip
Cache-Control: must-revalidate
Accept-Ranges: none
Seeing the attachment with a browser shows complete gibberish. How can I
store the encoding for couchdb attachments?
Thanks and regards,
Daniel

Re: Specify attachment encoding for couchdb
Posted by Daniel Gonzalez <go...@gonvaled.com>.
I do not have the code either, but based on the interface available from
python, I guess you are right: it is not possible to specify the encoding
at all.
I still can save the encoding using the custom solution that I have
suggested before, but I guess this defeats a little the idea of attachments
in couchdb, which are supposed to be completely self-contained. But for me
that would be enough, since I am not planning on allowing direct access to
these attachments. My goal is to be able to post-process the data, and for
that I can separately access the attachment and the encoding (as set in the
mapping attachments-encoding) for further processing.
For more background info: the attachments that I am saving are actually
email attachments, associated to a couchdb document. Since I want to have
the possibility to resend the email, I need to save all the data, including
attachments, to the associated document. Whenever I want to, I can reuse
all those attachments, body, html_body, subject, and so on to re-compose
the email. For that I also need the encoding of each attachment, in order
to prepare the mime multipart message.

Re: Specify attachment encoding for couchdb

I don't have the code in front of me, so someone please correct me if I'm
wrong, but I recall that CouchDb does not take any notice of part headers
in multipart messages. This means that you cannot currently set encoding on
a per-attachment basis. (I haven't looked closely at the code to add an
attachment to an existing document - does anyone know if you can set the
encoding in that case? It doesn't feel likely to me.)

Re: Specify attachment encoding for couchdb
Posted by Alexander Shorin <kx...@gmail.com>.
Erhm..just replace:
> db.put_attachment(doc, content, content_type='text/plain')
with
> db.put_attachment(doc, content, content_type='text/plain;charset=utf-8')
And CouchDB will remember it:
$ http HEAD http://localhost:5984/b/testing/test
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Accept-Ranges: none
Cache-Control: must-revalidate
Content-Encoding: gzip
Content-Length: 102
Content-MD5: 7y85tiUeF/UX9kqpKAzQEw==
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Date: Fri, 03 Jan 2014 14:14:27 GMT
ETag: "7y85tiUeF/UX9kqpKAzQEw=="
Server: CouchDB/1.6.0+build.0bf1856 (Erlang OTP/R16B01)
it will also available in attachments stub info. So before decoding,
just read content-type value, get att's encoding and decode it
according it.

Re: Specify attachment encoding for couchdb
Posted by Daniel Gonzalez <go...@gonvaled.com>.
No, what I mean is "how can I keep track of the encoding used for each of
the attachments, so that I can decode then correctly whenever I want to"

Not sure if I follow your idea. You mean, that how you can set such
charset info for existed attachments? In this case you have to
reupload them.

Re: Specify attachment encoding for couchdb
Posted by Daniel Gonzalez <go...@gonvaled.com>.
Thanks but, how do you set that on a per-attachment basis in a couchdb
document? If this is not supported, I guess I will have to add a mapping
"attachments-encoding" to the document where I can associate each
attachment with its encoding. Any comments on this?

Re: Specify attachment encoding for couchdb

You can set MIME type as text/plain;charset=utf-8 to help browsers
detect the correct content encoding.
See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2068#section-3.4 for more info
