Hi, I've got what seems like a simple couchdb question, but reading around I haven't found any really helpful information about it. Basically, how do you do securely use / replicate databases? Everything happens over http, and I can't find anything about https and couchdb working happily together. The options as far as I can tell seem to be: 1) Local only. - Create a local couchdb instance on local and server machines. - Setup SSH tunnels between the machines and push the content through them via replication. 2) Hide couchdb behind a firewall and talk to it via a https website. 3) There is no three. ?? I mean, I thought the great thing about couchdb was I could write a webapp that runs entirely off couchdb, use it on the net, pull a copy of it onto my laptop's copy of couch when I jump on a plane, and keep running, and sync it all via replication when I get back into a wifi zone. ...but, I don't understand how you can do any of that securely and privately. Am I missing some really obvious configuration option to turn on https or something? ~ Doug.
