    <p>I am currently playing with couchdb and testing out the 'standalone attachments' feature, which is described near the bottom of <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/HTTP_Document_API" rel="noreferrer">this page</a>.</p> <p>I am trying to use curl's --data-urlencode feature to send the creation request, which only half works. I can create the attachment and retrieve it, but the Content-Type field is wrong, so the image won't display correctly.</p> <p>To be more accurate CouchDB seems to work by returning the attachment using the same Content-Type it was posted in. (which is perfectly sensible IMO) My problem is curl doesn't send the correct code. Here's the details;</p> <pre><code> curl -vX PUT http://localhost:5984/dafttest/666/attachment --data-urlencode image/jpeg@xi_on_beach.jpg * About to connect() to localhost port 5984 (#0) * Trying 127.0.0.1... connected * Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 5984 (#0) &gt; PUT /dafttest/666/attachment HTTP/1.1 &gt; User-Agent: curl/7.19.4 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8k zlib/1.2.3 &gt; Host: localhost:5984 &gt; Accept: */* &gt; Content-Length: 495389 &gt; Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded &gt; Expect: 100-continue &gt; </code></pre> <p>So the short version of this question is; how to I get cURL to send the correct Content-Type ?</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>I release that my other mistake was to use --data-urlencode, when to get it to work I need to use --data binary @filename together with the -H option that Dale suggested.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
