No. I meant from remote server to local server, but instead of "database" in the local server to put full database path (http://user:passwd@local_ip_or_dns:5984/database). It may not work, but it's worth the try.
I am sorry that I am giving you blind attempts which may not solve the problem, but the error doesn't say too much. The error says in human language something like: "there is no connection in between the two servers, so, I cannot do what you asked". That can mean many things (except for CouchDB bugs or CouchDB servers incopatibility): 1. SSL proxy doesn't allow the reverse connection (strange, but not impossible); 2. SSL proxy slows the response so much that a timeout appears as a response; 3. local server doesn't permit such operation due to the insufficient permissions; ...and so on so forth. So, I am trying to figure out which may be the problem. It's also worth trying to PUT/GET documents via cURL to see if one or the other server blocks the connection. A shortcut to learn fast how to use cURL with CouchDB can be found here: http://jpmens.net/2010/04/20/the-antepenultimate-couchdb-reference-card/ If all the operations are permitted (PUT/GET to/from remote/local servers) that means there may be a network problem. If not, then this may be a bug in CouchDB (which I doubt, but I wouldn't take it out totally from the equation).
