    <p>I found the answer <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2099728/how-do-i-send-an-ajax-request-on-a-different-port-with-jquery">here</a> to the question below.<br><br> I needed to setup a reverse proxy in apache which took about 2 minutes by adding the following line to my virual host; <br> ProxyPass /couchdb/ <a href="http://dojo:5984/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://dojo:5984/</a><br> Because of the same origin policy you can't post data across ports. I knew this applied to domains but not different ports so you set up a reverse proxy.</p> <hr> <p>I would like to know how I can POST data to couchDB using JavaScript or jQuery.<br><br> I followed this <a href="http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/getting-started-with-couchdb/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">tut</a> and created a database and I'm able to post and get data using curl and it all works fine. There are curl examples below that I used. <br><br> I'm also able to get data using jQuery but I don't know how to POST to CouchDB</p> <p>curl -X GET <a href="http://127.0.0.1:5984/mycouchshop/_all_docs" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://127.0.0.1:5984/mycouchshop/_all_docs</a>. <br> curl -X POST <a href="http://127.0.0.1:5984/mycouchshop/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://127.0.0.1:5984/mycouchshop/</a> -d @person.json -H "Content-Type: application/json"</p> <p>I'm able to get and display data using jQuery. The code below works fine.</p> <pre><code> $.ajax({ url : 'http://couchdb:5984/mycouchshop/_design/peoples/_view/people', type : 'GET', dataType : "jsonp", success : function(json) {} }); </code></pre> <p>But posting data results in a <em>405 Method Not Allowed</em></p> <pre><code> $.ajax({ url : 'http://couchdb:5984/mycouchshop/', data : {"forename": "Bob", "surname": "McHamster", "type": "person"}, contentType : "application/json", type : 'POST', dataType : "json", success : function(resp) {} }); </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
