It was possible with the old action.js and may work without too much
changes today:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/couchdb/trunk/share/server/action.js?view=3Dma=
rkup&pathrev=3D727141

Example:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/couchdb/trunk/share/www/script/couch_tests.js?=
view=3Dmarkup&pathrev=3D727141#l2035

You have to lad it with the main.js in couchjs script.
