CouchDB file upload Automator Service for Mac OS X

# This is a bash script intended for use in a Mac OS X Automator Service script.
# Add the script below in a "Run Shell Script" action set to "/bin/bash" in Automator.
# Known issues (several...) are at the bottom.

# Edit this line to your CouchDB instance and a db you can write to.

# Known Issues / TODO
# 1. Uploading text files works fabulously..binary files, tho, not so much:
#    a. You'll get a method_not_allowed error when uploading a binary file, and then a success message
#    b. The binary file will be a 0 byte file in CouchDB--*obviously* needs fixing :}
# 2. There's no pretty user output when the action runs, so you'll not know if the files are up without checking your db
# 3. I'd love to add authentication as a user-info request when the script runs
