------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  
  === Standalone Attachments ===
+ 
+ Note: This was added in version 0.9 of CouchDB. It is not available in earlier version.
+ 
  CouchDB allows to create, change and delete attachments without touching the actual document. As a bonus feature, you do not have to base64 encode your data. This can significantly speed up requests since CouchDB and your client do not have to do the base64 conversion.
  
  You need to specify a MIME type using the Content-Type header. CouchDB will serve the attachment with the specified Content-Type when asked.
