Here's a fix for bug 867:https://github.com/joelwreed/couchdb/commit/528c52e6517b777f22fee0ab7fb0f7977c4c05c2
It adds a new handler, handle_file_req, to serve up files like /crossdomain.xml from a couchdb instance. For example, you could add:
[httpd_global_handlers]crossdomain.xml = {couch_httpd_misc_handlers, handle_file_req, "/usr/share/couchdb/www/crossdomain.xml" }
To your local.ini to serve up crossdomain.xml. jr
