title: How can I access my couchdb from my node server using REST/JSON/GET/POST?
body: <p>I'm trying to access my couchdb from a node.js server.</p>
  
  <p>I've followed the nodejs tutorial, and have set up this simple nodejs server:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var http = require('http');
  http.createServer(function (req, res) {
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
    res.end('Hello World\n');
  }).listen(80, "127.0.0.1");
  console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:80/');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to make RESTful http and POST requests to the nodejs server. The nodejs server should then be able to make GET/POST request to the Couchdb, which responds with JSON objects.</p>
  
  <p>How might I do this?</p>
