flimzy opened a new issue #1042: Improve CouchDB's understanding of multipart/related PUT requests
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1042
 
 
   At present, to send a multipart/related PUT request to CouchDB, each attachment's length must be known beforehand, to create a JSON body such as:
   
   ```json
   {
     "_id":"doc_id",
     "_attachments":{
       "foo.txt": {
         "content_type": "text/plain",
         "following": true,
         "length": 13
       }
     }
   }
   ```
   
   This defeats part of the benefit of using multipart/related to send attachments.
   
   It would be nice if the `length` field could be omitted from the attachment stub, and instead inferred from the actual size of the respective part.
   
   This would make it possible to write more efficient client code.
