(Taking this back onto the mailing list.)
From a pure javascript perspective, yours is clearly the correct
answer. However, it leads to a difficulty that seems to be inherent in
couch.js. Basically, I tried to set the database name using (in
pseudo-code)
if (window.location matches /proxyserver...\/couch\//)
set dbname to couch/myapp
else
set dbname to myapp
I then called the CouchDB function (inside couch.js) with the resulting
dbname. However, CouchDB assumes that the database name is a single
component and passes it through encodeURIComponent. Thus, when my
script correctly detects that it is coming from the proxy server, the
dbname get rewritten as
couch%2Fmyapp
which again leads to a 404 Not Found error.
I suppose I could try forcing an overwrite of the uri element stored in
Couch DB; does anyone have a better suggestion?
Thanks,
Kevin

I haven't used couch.js, but I assume it runs in the context of the
browser. So just use window.location and match it against a regex. If it
matches the one that looks like /^http:\/\/site.com\/couch\// then it's
external otherwise internal.
