And if I had scrolled down further and put 2 and 2 together. You must be making a cross origin request. If OPTIONS is returning with 405 the address in the browser is different than your CouchDB. More on Cross Origin Resource Sharing here: http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/
AFAIK CouchDB still doesn't support CORS except via JSONP which you can enable (I hear it's on a wish list tho!). However, I don't think the jquery.couch yet supports JSONP either. If you need to do XSS then, I remember hacking it a while back to support JSONP https://github.com/jimklo/lrchart/blob/master/lr-stats/_attachments/scripts/jquery.couch-patched.js but don't recall how complete it is. There's a list and show function modification that can be made to support CORS, but not sure where that snippet lives in the Internet ether. - Jim Sent from my iPad On May 19, 2012, at 9:19 PM, "Jim Klo" <[email protected]> wrote: > An OPTIONS request is made by your browser when you make a Cross Origin > Request.
