------------------------------------------
Can't I use the "Wish" type? I don't find a mailing list good for feature
suggestions. They just get lost.

> Key: COUCHDB-1219
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1219
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Johnny Weng Luu
> Priority: Minor
>
> 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.
> I think this would make CouchDB even more suitable for couchapps.
> Now the app can be offline. We send an email and it will be sent by couchdb
> when Internet connectivity is there.
> Also now the whole app can be replicated and every couchdb instance can make
> it's own HTTP requests and we no longer have to have a node.js server just to
> support basic HTTP requests.
