Simple examples without Coax

[Georges Gabereau]

Hey all,

I'm going through the process of creating a simple CBLite app in PhoneGap using the plugin.

I have an app that uses Backbone and I'd like to write a Backbone.sync that works seamlessly with CBLite. I think there might be a lot of people that could benefit from this. All the examples use coax and I've never used that, so I'm not totally clear on how required it is to speak to CBLite.

I am trying to do all my interactions through $.ajax as provided by Zepto or jQuery.

Here's a quick little Gist that shows my uber basic test ajax call to CBLite in PhoneGap:

https://gist.github.com/multiplegeorges/0d6352d69d7d3706115c

Here are some URLs I hit (in order) and the responses I got:

PUT http://lite.couchbase./test_db

response: {"ok": true}

GET http://lite.couchbase./test_db

response: {"db_name": "test_db", "doc_count": 0.... etc

PUT http://lite.couchbase./test_db/123

Params: {"first_name": "georges"}

response: {"status": 502, "error":"Invalid response from remote replication server"}

GET http://lite.couchbase./test/123

response: 404 !

So, what setting am I missing here? 

I thought that I could use CBLite as a local storage mechanism even if remote replication wasn't set up.

Thanks,

Georges

Sorry about the delated reply. You shouldn't need coax (it's just a URL munger around XHR so it doesn't matter how you create your URLs). You might look at existing CouchDB Backbone libraries for examples of connecting to the _changes feed.

That 502 response doesn't make any sense to me. Are you on iOS or Android?
