Thanks, Benoit. It might work this option, only that YAWS v.1.88 (default for Ubuntu) is not able to handle revproxy (I get a nice 404). I think I need to install YAWS from github.

First of all, thank you Dale for your answer. Still, the problem is more
complex than I anticipated.

I am using YAWS as web server and it doesn't support proxy, so, I have to
use two different ports for the two (CouchDB and YAWS). Methods I have
tried:
1. $.ajax() - error: not allowed cross-domain data transfer via JavaScript
(both IP and port should match exactly for both origin and target), so, even
if correct authentication, no cookie.
2. form action pointing to
server_name:5984/_session?next=/path_to_attachment/back.html - error: if the
authentication fails (incorrect username/password), the "next" is no longer
taken (back.html contains only window.location which redirects back to
YAWS), but it goes back if the authentication doesn't fail.

I would appreciate any idea related to how to solve any of these errors.
Thank you.

Cheers,
CGS


can't you use the reverse proxy module of yaws ? Othere way would be
having an iframe. Waiting CORS (patch should be available on friday,
was busy).
