> A DELETE request lets you append ?rev=xxxx to the URL. But this doesn't work with a PUT request; you have to put the _rev in the body instead (even though the _id is taken from the URL path)
> $ curl -X PUT -d "{}" http://brianadmin:brianadmin@127.0.0.1:5984/briantest/foo
> {"ok":true,"id":"foo","rev":"1-967a00dff5e02add41819138abb3284d"}
> $ curl -X PUT -d "{}" http://brianadmin:brianadmin@127.0.0.1:5984/briantest/foo?rev=1-967a00dff5e02add41819138abb3284d
> {"error":"conflict","reason":"Document update conflict."}
> $ curl -X PUT -d '{"_rev":"1-967a00dff5e02add41819138abb3284d"}' http://brianadmin:brianadmin@127.0.0.1:5984/briantest/foo
> {"ok":true,"id":"foo","rev":"2-7051cbe5c8faecd085a3fa619e6e6337"}
> Allowing ?rev in the URL would make PUT and DELETE more consistent, and would allow you to replace an existing JSON doc with another one without having to merge the _rev into it first.
