content / attachment scanning
Hello.
I was wondering whether Couch-Db has anything for visurs scanning while uploading attachments.
I don't know, something like a Symantec remote service,configurable, etc. And a quarantine to put those files checked positive.
Regards
Antonio

On CouchDB, you'd do this in your application before attaching the
file. Ideally, you'd have CouchDB set up in such a way that a virus
would not be able to do any damage if, for some reason, it executed. I
personally use Grsecurity to accomplish this on my production servers
(which aren't running CouchDB but should work with CouchDB).
If you wanted to use CouchDB to host a virus database, then you'd want
to store a property for if it was scanned and the result of the scan.
Just having a file attached isn't going to "infect" a computer. You
have to execute the program, and I'm not sure that CouchDB stores
attachments in such a way that it would be possible to do that.

No, there's nothing of that nature in CouchDB.
