I could have sworn I answered this, but my records don't show that.

The best place to jump into CouchDB is couch_http.erl. It defines
CouchDB's public API and contains the code that you are most
likely to be familiar with from the outside. Most other things are
called from there.

May I point you to the "HTTP and daemon plugin architecture"
thread for more details on what we could use? :)
