Johnny Weng Luu updated COUCHDB-1219:
-------------------------------------
Description:
With CouchDB the application server landscape has changed. The database can now
handle almost all logic that is data related, eg. validation, updating,
formatting etc.
It has a HTTP server for incoming requests but one thing I find missing is a
HTTP client that can push data to other servers.
What I have to do right now for sending data to an external service is to setup
a (node.js) server that listens on the _changes feed.
When there is a document meant for being delivered through email, node.js will
send a HTTP request to the (sendgrid) email service.
I think it would make sense if CouchDB could make HTTP requests on document
changes, meaning we can eliminate that extra HTTP client layer just for sending
the data.
Why only have a HTTP server for data but not a HTTP client for data.
(This would make even more sense if CouchDB was redesigned with node.js).
