Authenticaton is handled by the file server backend by forwarding requests back to the CouchDB server and checking for the correct priveleges. This means that the authentication should be sent in the cookies The file server attachment endpoint is at the URL:
/_attachments/[db_name]/[doc_id]/[attachment]
GET - returns the document assuming the user has read access. Also can handle Range requests.PUT - puts file (transferred in body of request) at [attachment]
associated with document with [doc_id]. Require write access to the CouchDB document.DELETE - removes associated file, requires write access to the CouchDB document.For digitizer files (e.g. .dig files), there is an additional option that can
be added to downsample the data, e.g.:
/_attachments/[db_name]/[doc_id]/[attachment].dig/downsample/8
where [attachment].dig will be downsampled by 8.
