Description

I'm using update function _design/app/_update/test, here is the body of this function:

function(doc, req)

{ return [req.form, '<p>Hello World</p>']; }

Using the HTML5 form below I submit a new object to this update function:

<form id="form" method="POST" action="_update/test">
<input type="hidden" name="type" value="payment">
<input type="hidden" name="version" value="4">
Date: <input type="date" name="date"><br/>
Note: <input type="text" name="note"><br/>
<input type="submit" value="save"><br/>
</form>

As a result I expect to get either error (id is not specified) or new document with generated ID (same as in POST request http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/HTTP_Document_API#POST)

In fact new document is created with NULL ID. I can see it in Futon, but can not modify. The only way to get rid of this document is to drop whole the database.
