couchjs vs. js
Hi,
I'm trying to put together some code and till now I was using js
(SpiderMonkey) to run Javascript code on the server. Now I see there
is a "couchjs" binary that is actually the one that is going to
execute the Javascript on CouchDB. The only documentation I found
about it is a man page on
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man1/couchjs.1.html.
Is there any significat difference between js and couchjs and if there
is where can I find any documentation about that?
Thank you!

I have to apologize, again: I should have payed more attention to source code.
For those interested in answer to my question, that is information on
how to use the curl extension provided by couchjs, there is enough in
the test/test.js* file. One can use CouchDB.request method defined in
there to make HTTP calls.
Enjoy!

I apologize, I'm here only a few months, this is why I could have missed it.

Great!
Now is that curl functionality documented anywhere else other than the
source code itself?

couchjs is js + curl bindings for the test suite.

There is a comment in trunk/test/test.js* stating:
// This is a JS wrapper for the curl function made available in couch_js.c,
// it should be used in other JavaScripts that would like to make HTTP calls.
and looking in trunk/src/couchdb/couch_js.c** we can see functions
like GetHttp, HeadHttp, PostHttp, PutHttp, DelHttp, CopyHttp, etc.
Does this mean we can make HTTP calls from JS files? It would be
really handy for integration tests on the server-sde, but AFAIK,
SpiderMonkey (the js binary) dos not have any documented function to
make HTTP calls.
This is why I suspect that there is additional functionality in
couchjs vs. js which we could use.
Now, can somebody confirm or infirm this suspicion?
Thank you!

CouchDB just uses SpiderMonkey to run JavaScript, so your code should work just fine.
