+ As of November 2010, Couchdb has gained the ability to
+ [[https://github.com/apache/couchdb/commit/c8785113522b8486fab0ba53f2043d94e9b1507f|manage external OS processes]]
+ and to
+ [[https://github.com/apache/couchdb/commit/11469d902b15145d361f9f7ec66a09ac3d04757c|proxy to an external HTTP server]].
+ 
+ This lets you integrate an external HTTP app server, written in any language you like, without using the JSON protocol defined above. This means you can write extensions using regular frameworks and process binary (non-UTF8, non-JSON) data. It is intended to replace the [external] mechanism.
