Adam Kocoloski commented on COUCHDB-163:
----------------------------------------

I put together an alternative to multipart that uses a separate request for each attachment in a document.  It could be a good choice for this ticket.  Details are at:

> CouchDB currently replicates attachments by inlining them in the JSON representation of the document.  This puts a load on the DB in the case of large attachments.  It might be possible to avoid inlining attachments by
> a) adding a {new_edits, false} equivalent option in the standalone attachment API, or
> b) accepting a multipart format that would allow JSON docs and binary attachments to be transmitted in one shot, or
> c) something I haven't thought of yet
