CouchDB has an http interface that makes it accessible from the server and from the client. Does anything like this exist with a websocket interface?
Thanks in advance for any info!
In general you don't want to expose your database server directly via a public interface, so there would be a server application in between providing authentication and services like websockets. Typically that would be something like node.js or Tornado .. but since you're aware of that based on your question tags, what is the actual solution you're looking for?
CouchDB currently does not directly support a websocket interface, but the next release (1.3) apparently includes support for the Server Sent Events protocol which is widely supported except for IE (see: browser compatibility).
