  === POST ===
  
- The ''POST'' operation can be used to create a new document with a server generated DocID. To create a named document, use the ''PUT'' method instead. It is recommended that you avoid ''POST'' when possible, because proxies and other network intermediaries will occasionally resend ''POST'' requests, which can result in duplicate document creation. If your client software is not capable of guaranteeing uniqueness of generated UUIDs, use a ''GET'' to ''/_uuids?limit=100'' to retrieve a list of document IDs for future ''PUT'' requests. Please note that the ''/_uuids''-call does not check for existing document ids; collision-detection happens when you are trying to save a document.

  The following is an example HTTP ''POST''. It will cause the CouchDB server to generate a new DocID and revision ID and save the document with it.
