Starting a separate thread as this was discovered at the end of a long 
thread about jQuery/callback=? etc.

Here's what I am seeing.  Wondering if this is supposed to be this way 
and why that might be ?

curl -v http://localhost:5984/

* About to connect() to localhost port 5984 (#0)
*   Trying 127.0.0.1... connected

This appears to be the same for results of views etc as well.

I am on CouchDBX 0.9.0 on Intel Leopard 10.5.7

Thanks,
