I could have sworn I replied to this earlier :)

There is a comment in trunk/test/test.js* stating:

and looking in trunk/src/couchdb/couch_js.c** we can see functions
like GetHttp, HeadHttp, PostHttp, PutHttp, DelHttp, CopyHttp, etc.
Does this mean we can make HTTP calls from JS files? It would be
really handy for integration tests on the server-sde, but AFAIK,
SpiderMonkey (the js binary) dos not have any documented function to
make HTTP calls.
This is why I suspect that there is additional functionality in
couchjs vs. js which we could use.
Now, can somebody confirm or infirm this suspicion?
couchjs is js + curl bindings for the test suite.

CouchDB just uses SpiderMonkey to run JavaScript, so your code

Onderwerp: couchjs vs. js
Hi,
I'm trying to put together some code and till now I was using js
(SpiderMonkey) to run Javascript code on the server. Now I see there
is a "couchjs" binary that is actually the one that is going to
execute the Javascript on CouchDB. The only documentation I found
about it is a man page on
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man1/couchjs.1.html.
Is there any significat difference between js and couchjs and if
there
is where can I find any documentation about that?
Thank you!
