And if I had scrolled down further and put 2 and 2 together. You must be ma=
king a cross origin request. If OPTIONS is returning with 405 the address i=
n the browser is different than your CouchDB. More on Cross Origin Resource=
 Sharing here: http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/

AFAIK CouchDB still doesn't support CORS except via JSONP which you can ena=
ble (I hear it's on a wish list tho!). However, I don't think the jquery.co=
uch yet supports JSONP either. If you need to do XSS then, I remember hacki=
ng it a while back to support JSONP https://github.com/jimklo/lrchart/blob/=
master/lr-stats/_attachments/scripts/jquery.couch-patched.js but don't reca=
ll how complete it is.

There's a list and show function modification that can be made to support C=
ORS, but not sure where that snippet lives in the Internet ether.=20
