phonegap, android: one-shot replication http request returns immediately

[Daniel Carr]

Hi all.

When using phonegap, (and therefore the http servlet), POST to /_replicate gets a response straight away, even if it is not a continuous replication.

This is not compliant with the CouchDB api, as on a non-continuous replication, POST does not respond until the replication is complete or err.

I wanted to know if this is intentional before creating an issue. It is a problem for me, as I need to do an initial replication when the application is started, then set up a continuous replication afterwards. It is much harder to monitor a replication over active tasks, then just react to the POST request. (Esp. for error handling). Probably don't need to full info that couchdb gives, but the error, and the start_last_seq, end_last_seq, recorded_seq can be very useful.

Is this intentional, or should I open a ticket? It could also be part of this issue:  https://github.com/couchbase/couchbase-lite-java-core/issues/75

Cheers,

Daniel
