Server Side Get

[IOMATIX <io...@yahoo.com>]

How do I perform a server side get?  Do I have to use commonJS or nodeJS and if 
so which is a better match for a pure couchApp.  Can someone point me to or give 
me an example of a server side get to a view?

I have really been trying to dig up this info and just can't find it.  Thank you 
a ton!

Hey Jeff,

When you say "server side get" do you mean an HTTP GET from within some 
CouchDB _design document code (such as a _list, _show, or map/reduce)? 
If so, that's not currently possible due to the blocking nature of a 
round-trip HTTP request and the need for fast compilation of design 
document output (as well as the cached index that results).

There are, however, plenty of options for using CouchDB's HTTP API from 
the server-side (if that's what you had in mind), and (if you're doing 
that) there are also plenty of options for combining CouchDB results 
with other HTTP request results from other servers using a server-side 
language like PHP, Ruby, or the like.

I'm not quite sure if I've answered your question, but I hope something 
in there was helpful. :)

Thanks, Jeff,
Benjamin
