Uff... GET and PUT works (haven't tried DELETE). I tried it, but when  
I entered the Server URL, I got a 405 error and just stopped there.  
But the error is correctly reporting what the server (CouchDB) is  
sending.

However, it would be nice to have more control over the request. For  
example, a DELETE in CouchDB requires sending the particular revision  
of a document, e.g.

DELETE /somedatabase/some_doc?rev=1582603387 HTTP/1.0

But this works for me now.

thanks,
