_uuid should respond to GET, not POST
-------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-190
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-190
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Database Core
Affects Versions: 0.9
Reporter: Matt Goodall
The /_uuid resource can happily return a response to a GET without being unresty. In fact,
supporting POST is probably incorrect as it implies it would change server state.
Quick summary:
* _uuid never changes server state
* calling _uuid multiple times does not impact other clients
* that the resource returns something different each time it is requested does not mean it
cannot be a POST
* GET with proper cache control (i.e. don't cache it ever) will work equally well
