Attachments and WebDev
I have a need to use attachments with CouchDB and have them accessible via WebDev. Has anyone done this before?

We're looking for WebDAV.

Oops typo WebDav is what I'm looking for. Allow for a standard way to access attachments from clients. My use case for this is that we'll use the normal APIs to create documents but want clients to have an easy way to access attachments using a protocol that's supported on a number of platforms OOTB.

Umm. WebDev is a CASE tool. WebDav is distributed authoring and
versioning over http - which allows for, among other things, mounting
files on a web server onto a PC, Mac, or Linux desktop.
If you really mean WebDev - what's your use case?

Jae -
What middleware have you used for this. One of my thought was to leverage apache webdav proxy mechanism.
According the JIRA issue it seems that there is an issue with the views. So what Erlang based solution would make sense here, something like a view handler?

I too had the same needs,
The solution for me was to add middleware to respond to WebDav, and sort of proxy between the WebDav client and CouchDB.
Would be awesome to get something going in CouchDB for this. Maybe handle in Erlang...

Hi Henri,
If you mean "make CouchDB comply with WebDaV RFCs" then not to my
knowledge. In principle you could write shows & lists to emulate that
(sending appropriate headers along the way) but I'm not sure that it
would be worth the effort, a la
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-815
Generally couch handles attachments pretty well, excluding a few
things like native support for custom meta-data.
