Add data to couchdb with jsonp response

Question

Is there a way add data to a couchdb that runs on another domain and get back an response whether the operation was successfully or not? I know couchdb supports jsonp callback but can I add data with this approach?

Answer 1

No, you cannot currently do this. CouchDB's REST API requires a POST or PUT request in order to insert data, but JSONP only supports GET requests. So you can retrieve data from CouchDB across domains, but updates/inserts/deletes won't work.
