Simple example of a Node.js proxy to CouchDB GET requests

server.js

var http = require('http'),
request = require('request'), // request module from https://github.com/mikeal/request
url = require('url');

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  var href = url.parse(req.url,true).href;
  request('http://127.0.0.1:5984' + href).pipe(res);
}).listen(1337);

// now try something like http://127.0.0.1:1337/your_db_name/_all_docs/?limit=10
