CouchDB hosting services and same-domain origin
Can anyone confirm this please. There seems to be one limitation to
using a CouchDB hosting service like CouchOne or Cloudant. To use
online payment systems, or third-party authentication, server-side
scripting is required e.g. using PHP.
You cannot do these actions on another server because the same-domain
origin policy prevents this.
Or is there any way to retrieve info like Paypal payments or OpenID
authentication on one server and then securely pass that info to the
database on the hosting service?
Thanks,
Marcus

If you're wondering how to do this for a CouchApp, you might look at
the setup Mikeal talks about (NodeJS behind CouchDB) at
http://jsconf.eu/2010/speaker/nodejs_couchdb_crazy_delicious.html
(especially at around 12:15).

You might look into something like postMessage[1] for passing
information between iframes. Then you can load the payment system or
part of couchapp in an iframe and pass information between them.
Disclaimer: This sort of front end stuff is not my expertise, so I
hope I'm pointing you in the right direction.

Hi Marcus,
the same-domain origin policy is only for javascript, you can have
your database on CouchOne or Cloudant, and have another server hosting
your application (PHP, Java, etc).
