good point so nginx shud proxy into futon
the problem with admin access is

in the code i have server.create('dbname')
and since the code might not have admin auth it will cause the app to crash!

Think about what you are saying for a second. You want to keep people
from accessing some html files that are the same as those on every
CouchDB install, but you don't care if they delete all your data?

Anyway, if you want to control read access at this point you'll need
to use an http proxy. Look into nginx or Apache's server.

Did you try running the tests, or other admin-only things (like creating a db)?
