[jira] [Created] (COUCHDB-1779) Support of HTTP PATCH method to upload/update attachments in chunks

Sebastian Podjasek created COUCHDB-1779:
-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Support of HTTP PATCH method to upload/update attachments in chunks
                 Key: COUCHDB-1779
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1779
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Database Core, HTTP Interface
            Reporter: Sebastian Podjasek


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.
