Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Insert a document like: {"_attachments": {"foo":

{"data": ""}

}}

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I'd expect it to add the 0-length attachment, but I get this error in the log:
[info] [<0.1541.0>] HTTP Error (code 500): {obj,[

{error,"EXIT"}

,
{reason,"{function_clause,[

{couch_util,decode1,[undefined]}

,\n

{couch_util,decodeBase64,1}

,\n

{couch_doc,'-from_json_obj/1-fun-0-',1}

,\n

{lists,flatmap,2}
