(was: I've suggested using PATCH method (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5789). To be honest RFC says nothing about Content-* or Range headers, it suggest using a "patch document" from request body.
IMHO using of some request header would be simpler to implement from client side (just as it works with Amazon's Glacier Multipart uploads).)

> I'm wondering would it be possible to implement PATCH methods for document attachments.
> I'm currently facing a theoretical problem to upload large files over GSM network, my storage back-end is CouchDB with our own API served in front-end. I was thinking about few other solutions, but all of them involves some post processing of document after receiving last chunk, it would be great to just invoke this:
>    PATCH /database/0519690fc465fc0e9cc0f89fa87973fc/bigfile.dat?_rev=13-c969cb72e5428ca2ccdd191e0cd7bf4b HTTP/1.1
>    Content-Type: application/octet-string
>    Range: bytes=1200-1300
>    Content-Length: 100
> What do you think about this. Is it theoretically possible.
