_id values with / are not handled correctly?

[Daniel Holth]

database['foo/bar'] = { 'baz':'quux'} always seems to give a conflict error. Perhaps couchdb-python is not %20-escaping these _id values?

[Alexander Shorin]

No, it because document foo/bar is already created. To update it you need specify his _rev.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what couchdb is supposed to be doing. The following command creates document baz with an attachment named quux. Then if I try to set db['/baz/splort'] it fails because baz is already set.

>>> db['/baz/quux'] = {'testing':[1,2,3]}
>>> db['/baz']
<Document u'baz'@u'1-a3e2a2a4fd40b5f00f50a3a1f9bb3137' 
{u'_attachments': {u'quux': {u'stub': True, u'length': 22, u'digest': 
u'md5-7hE5LjA19+pF3J/DcBxEIw==', u'revpos': 1, u'content_type': u'application/json'}}}>

>>> In [38]: db['/baz/splort'] = {}

Can you please provide a complete REPL session/script that reproduces the failure you're seeing? Your snippet above doesn't appear to provide that.

[Daniel Holth]

There's the additional line showing the exception.

[Dirkjan Ochtman]

I cannot reproduce:

>>> db = couchdb.Server().create('test-ldsaofkdsofds')
>>> db['/baz/quux'] = {'testing':[1,2,3]}
>>> db['/baz']

Thanks. It looks like this is a consequence of my web server configuration, with CouchDB reverse proxied under a subdirectory.
