Question

Currently, web application need to offer some kind of cross-domain HTTP header to access data on other domain: http://openfontlibrary.org/wiki/Web_Font_linking_and_Cross-Origin_Resource_Sharing

Is there any way to configure CouchDB to support unlimited cross-domain access? (it may use apache httpd internally) I’m using the db in-house purpose only.

Answer 1

You could use a CouchDB show function to set the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header.

function(doc, req) {
  return {
    body : 'whatever',
    headers : {
      "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "\"*\""
    }
  }
}
