----------------------------------
> CouchDB isn't compatible with CORS editor draft
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-1308
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1308
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HTTP Interface
> Affects Versions: 1.0.2, 1.1
> Reporter: Mounir Lamouri
> Priority: Blocker
>
> CORS editor draft [1] requests that for non-simple HTTP requests (like PUT or
> DELETE methods), the OPTIONS method should be used to know if those methods
> are allowed by the server [2]. If the server returns a status code different
> than 200, the User Agent should consider the request as not allowed thus
> shouldn't do the original request (with PUT or DELETE methods).
> Gecko/Firefox is following this draft which makes CouchDB not accessible
> cross-domain with Firefox and all Gecko-based browsers. In addition, given
> that this is a behavior requested per specs, CouchDB will not work
> cross-domain with all future User Agent following it.
> Tested with 1.0.2 and 1.1.0
