It used to be that a POST to db/_compact would compact the database, but
now this is rejected:

$ curl http://127.0.0.1:5984
{"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"0.9.0a767289"}
$ curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5984/couchtiny-test/_compact
{"error":"bad_content_type","reason":"Invalid Content-Type header for form upload"}

curl -v shows "415 Unsupported Media Type"

This is also detected in the test suite, and there are some other tests
failing in a similar way.
