streunerlein / nano Goto Github PK

The HTTP-Host field in opts.headers has to be set to the CouchDb hostname. I had a simple piping script, see https://gist.github.com/2784839/a9cad0799fa9255e24419d4641ce5ae8637934b1, which worked fine as long as node and CouchDb had the same hostname (localhost) - but it broke as soon as node was available under a other hostname (example.org) and CouchDb still under localhost (or take iriscouch.com e.g.).

This can be quick fixed by adjusting the headers.host field before passing it to nano's request: https://gist.github.com/2784839/b92e2499f618cf58c08f7d79f3ba3ef2cd16cfcd

Question is, if this should be built right into the request function of nano, so it makes sure, the hostname in the HTTP header is set to the CouchDB hostname request... or does this lead to strange side effects?
