proxy couchdb so that browser side js can query it.

couch_proxy.js

var connect = require('connect')
  , httpProxy = require('http-proxy')

//when a host:port/couch request comes in, remove /couch from url and proxy to host:5984

function couch (req,res,next){
  console.log(req.url)
  req.url = req.url.replace(/^\/couch/,'') || '/'

  console.log(req.url)
  var proxy = new httpProxy.HttpProxy(req, res)
  proxy.proxyRequest(5984, 'localhost', req, res)
}

  connect.createServer(
    connect.router(function(app){
      app.get('/couch', couch) //catch {couchdb: "welcome",...}
    , app.get('/couch/*', couch) //catch everything else. limit this to impose security, if you want. also maybe handle POST?
    })
  , connect.logger()
  , connect.static(__dirname)//serve local .js files
  ).listen(3000)
