JSONView to the rescue
I guess everyone starting with CouchDB would like to have a little
nicer error messages.
JSONView* Firefox add-on with a little patch can ease a this pain.
By default it beautifies only responses with content-type
application/json. But this is easy "fixable" if you register it for
text/plain responses too. Yeah, I now it's not a nice and clean
approach but it looks like working for now. :)
Here is how:
- find the jsonview.js in the add-on directory (if you are not able
find it you probably don't want to mess with it, sorry);
- adjust postRegister and preUnregister functions;
- restart Firefox.

works for me, too. I just needed to make sure it's seeing loading a new
document because the old, unJSONiprettified one was still in cache.

Yeah, I checked that accept header option and it's not working for me
either... :^(

That's strange. If you send an accept header for JSON, then CouchDB
should respond with JSON (not text/plain). Works for me.

That did not work for me because CouchDB responds with Content-Type:
text/plain;charset=utf-8, this is why I came up with the JSONView +
patch...

You can also just go the add-on's preferences and enable adding
application/json to the accept header. :o)
