   After reading the documentation it seemed logical to me that the api should return "400 - database name invalid" because otherwise it would not have been specified in the documentation since it will never be returned. 
   
   After checking more parts of the `/{db}` documentation it seems to me that the return codes/reasons are the same for all http methods and make perfect sense for `delete/put/get` and `post` is just the odd one. 
   Usually I would not have noticed but I am writing a CouchDB client and use the documentation to define my integration tests.
   
   I'll close this issue and will put up a pr for an update of the documentation and see where that goes.
