Adding an attachment with Sync Gateway REST API

[ingenthr]

Moving this to the Sync Gateway category…

From what the REST API documentation says, the URL to post to should look a bit like this:
PUT /cookbook/LemonChicken/lcnote.txt?rev=1-78abf9a6508671ba8338e4ef6daa910a HTTP/1.1
yours looks something like this…
PUT /sync_srucc/9ef40c1d-dfac-4e41-a987-a23ckk25bc3198?=/tablet.png HTTP/1.1

Note the first one is an attachment to the document LemonChicken and is behind a slash, while yours seems to be an item itself.

Continuing the discussion from How to add attachments?:

Thanks - That makes a lot of sense…I’m afraid I’m still stuggling a bit, however, I’ve tried the Rest API with every combination I can think of…here’s the curl message and response:

teds-mbp:graphics Ted$ curl -vX PUT http://ec2-54-241-255-224.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:4984/sync_srucc/9ef40c1d-dfac-4e41-a987-a23ckk25bc3198?=/tablet.png --data-binary @tablet.png -H “Content-Type: image/png”

So I’m not sure if there’s a error above, I have a config setting wrong, or what…

Thx again

Any idea how to PUT an image attachment using the REST API? How does it need to be encoded? I’m using fetch.
