Try this instead:
curl -v -H 'Accept: application/json' http://127.0.0.1:5984/
Peeping the jquery docs for $.get I don't see a way to set headers
there. Checking the jquery.couch.js it looks like it's doing something
like:
$.ajax({
type: "PUT",
url: this.uri,
contentType: "application/json",
...
});
