Subject: Re: replication to iriscouch fails

o.k., this here works:
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5984/_replicate  -d @replication.json -H
"Content-Type:application/json"
where the json-Object is in replication.json.

Windows blows escaping, no matter how I tried. Only referring to a file
worked.

So the problem is basically solved. Don't know though why futon would
return an error. Is there any worth following this or should I be happy
using curl?

Thanks for helping!!!

Alex
