title: geocouch error on nodejs
body: <p>I have 3 questions pertaining to geocouch on nodejs environment.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>my code is as follows. The connection to the database is not happening and it does not print anything after "before connecting to database". what's wrong ?</p>
  
  <p>var connection = new(cradle.Connection)(settings.COUCHDB_HOST, settings.COUCHDB_PORT, 
                                          {auth: settings.COUCHDB_AUTH});</p>
  
  <p>console.log("before connecting to database");
  var db = connection.database(settings.COUCHDB_DATABASE, function(err) {
          if (err) {
              console.log("database connection problem :", err);
              throw err;
          }
          console.log("connected to iriscouch", settings.COUCHDB_HOST);
  });</p></li>
  <li><p>Does geocouch support any operation other than bbox ? i mean operation like, radius, polygon ?</p></li>
  <li><p>recently the function spatiallist has been changed to something. Any idea what it is ? Where can I find the latest and greatest documentation ?</p></li>
  </ol>
