launch http://localhost/ instead of file:////www/index.html

[Dave Cottlehuber]

Hi,

I'm combining phonegap and couchdb on iOS together; both now compile
into a single app and run correctly within it - awesome!

The last stage is to serve the phonegap www/ files out of the local
couchdb via HTTP.

However my reading of the source looks like PG expects its actually a
file not a URL.

How can I pass the couchdb URL (which is on a random port) from ObjC
in an NSURL through to PG, to replace index.hmtl?

Thanks
Dave

I was able to get something going on here a couple of weeks ago:

The important bits are defining a couchbaseDidStart method:
https://github.com/alunny/ios-couch-phonegap-helloworld/blob/master/helloworld/Classes/AppDelegate.m#L125-132

and ensuring files serves from localhost can be displayed in your app
(adding to ExternalHosts in phonegap.plist)
https://github.com/alunny/ios-couch-phonegap-helloworld/blob/master/helloworld/PhoneGap.plist#L11-15

Note that mobile Couchbase doesn't include the Futon CMS as part of
its runtime - you'll need to populate a CouchDB so you have something
to display. Here's how I do that:
