Upload the supplied content as an attachment to the specified design document (/_design/design-doc). The attachment name provided must be a URL encoded string. You must also supply either the rev query argument or the If-Match HTTP header for validation, and the HTTP headers (to set the attacment content type). The content type is used when the attachment is requested as the corresponding content-type in the returned document header.

For example, you could upload a simple text document using the following request:

PUT http://couchdb:5984/recipes/_design/recipes/view.css?rev=7-f7114d4d81124b223283f3e89eee043e
Content-Length: 39
Content-Type: text/plain

div.recipetitle {
font-weight: bold;
}

Or by using the If-Match HTTP header:

PUT http://couchdb:5984/recipes/FishStew/basic
If-Match: 7-f7114d4d81124b223283f3e89eee043e
Content-Length: 39
Content-Type: text/plain

div.recipetitle {
font-weight: bold;
}

The returned JSON contains the new document information:

{
   "id" : "_design/recipes"
   "ok" : true,
   "rev" : "8-cb2b7d94eeac76782a02396ba70dfbf5",
}
