How do I perform an Ajax request to CouchDB (http://.couchone.com/)

Question

I\'m trying to create a simple AJAX (via jQuery) request to http://yourusername.couchone.com/ (alsmost the same as if I had installed couchdb on localhost)

Answer 1

I'd say that MightyE's totally right, up to the postscript -- CouchOne does support JSONP. Go to http://YOURSITE.couchone.com/_utils/config.html and change allow_jsonp in the httpd section to true. After that,

$.ajax({
   url: 'http://yoursite.couchone.com/',
   type: 'get',
   dataType: 'jsonp',
   success: function(data) {
      alert(data.couchdb);
      alert(data.version);
   }
});

will work.
