Proposal: Authentication cookie support about nano

[dscape]

This should be possible with request (http://github.com/mikeal/request).

So in my opinion this should be done when you instantiate the nano Object.

I think this is already possible:

• https://github.com/dscape/nano/blob/master/nano.js#L627

I'm going to close the issue, unless you state this isn't sufficient. If it's not and you would like to contribute this functionality I would accept it. Just:

• Add documentation to readme.
• Add a cookie.js test in shared.

When making the tests please look at branch issue63 as this is the future for nano in terms of testing. Anything but the doc folder as I am currently finishing it up.

ps. issue63 is a significant refactor wich will likely:

1. make peoples life easier in contributing to the project (or at least I hope so)
2. better code quality
3. using errs for errors as opposed to having a separate class
4. removing logger.js
5. Fixing issue #63
6. Update to latest version of dependencies and devDependencies, including updating all the tests

The problem with this, is that it means that the developer must have the cookie at the point of instantiation (as far as I'm aware). Which prevents you from simply having nano = require('nano')('http://localhost:5984'); at the start of your file.

I personally feel that its necessary for the developer to have more granular control over when to send a cookie.

Alternatively, if there is a way of updating the config of an instance of nano after its instantiation then that would be another option I guess.

Yes, you can create multiple instances of nano. So this is fine.

Because it's an exception and would force you to change all methods, I think this is preferable.

Please feel free to send a pull request, can't wait to add you to the contributors list.

Also feel free to add your projects that use nano to the wiki.

Nano 3 is out.

This should fix this.

Please reopen if you can't fix the problem you have using it :)

Thank you!
