I try to use ajax call in js file to retrieve data from couchdb.
But I got the 401 error: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 (Unauthorized)
Here is my js code:
var locate_data = $.ajax({
url: 'http://admin:mypassword@localhost:5984/database_name',
type:'GET',
dataType: "json",
success: function(data){
console.log("successfully loaded."),
alert(data);
},
error: function(xhr) {
console.log("error"),
alert(xhr.statusText)
}
})I can use 'curl GET' to get the data from couchdb by using the terminal.
What is the problem? and how can I fix it?
