Non-Unicde characters in an attachment name render a document unreadable.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: COUCHDB-254
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-254
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Database Core
    Affects Versions: 0.9
         Environment: Linux, erlang, 12b-5, couchdb r791265
            Reporter: Maximillian Dornseif
            Priority: Critical


Attatchment names containing nun unicode characters can be created easily because URI-s are (nearly) 8-bit clean. But when reading they are encoded into utf-8 which doesn't work out. So you are left with unreadable database entries.

I was not able to generate invalid UTF-8 in JavaScript but a test case would look somewhat like this:

A python script (fuzzer?) for triggering the bug looks like this:

import sys
import couchdb.client

COUCHSERVER = "http://localhost:5984"
COUCHDB_NAME = "md_test"

def _setup_couchdb():
    """Get a connection handler to the CouchDB Database, creating it when needed."""
    server = couchdb.client.Server(COUCHSERVER)
    print "using %s/%s" % (COUCHSERVER, COUCHDB_NAME)
    if COUCHDB_NAME in server:
        return server[COUCHDB_NAME]
    else:
        return server.create(COUCHDB_NAME)
    
def main():
    db = _setup_couchdb()
    doc_id = "doc_id"
    
    try:
        doc = db[doc_id]
    except couchdb.client.ResourceNotFound:
        doc = {}
    
    db[doc_id] = doc
    for i in range(256):
        char = chr(i)
        name = "___%s___" % (char)
        print "checking %r (%d) " % (char, i),
        sys.stdout.flush()
        db.put_attachment(db[doc_id], "data", name)
        db[doc_id]
        print '\r',
    print 

main()
