This is AJAX request and I don't suppose it will be changed soon. As long as CouchDB will answer with a JSON, it will be a valid request (you do ask for the contentType to be application/json), I suppose. What you did there is nothing else but attaching the data object to the provided url which GET method in jQuery AJAX should do it for you otherwise.
