[jira] Created: (COUCHDB-289) _all_docs should support both GET and
POST
_all_docs should support both GET and POST
------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-289
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-289
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.10
Reporter: Matt Aimonetti
As of 0.9, if you want to query multiple documents at once and load them, you have to do:
'POST' /my_db/_all_docs?include_docs=true and pass the document ids.
The problem with that approach is that the requests can't be cached. Being to make a GET request (with the obvious limitations) would make a lot of sense.

I think it is planed to add that, just waiting for someone to write the patch :)
But say, in a merb app, you could still cache the docs returned by the POST no?

Component/s: HTTP Interface
I'm +1 on this. Also if the keys are passed in the query-string it gives us a chance to throw '414 Request-URI Too Long". We should never pass up the opportunity to correctly use an obscure HTTP status code :-)

Chris Anderson commented on COUCHDB-289:
----------------------------------------
Not an objection, but something to bear in mind.
Right now POSTing the keys to views kinda sucks, because it's so limited.
We'd like to change the API so that you post an object the specifies a list of queries, not just keys:
{
"queries" : [
{
"startkey" : "foo",
"limit" : 5,
},
{
"startkey" : "baz",
"limit" : 5,
}
]
}
which gives the current functionality but also much more flexibility. It's also harder to compress into get params, but not impossible.
Anyway, just a heads up.
