couchdb

I have a sub-directory on my web server (lighttpd) that I want to point at a CouchDB instance running on the same machine. I tried using mod_proxy but it sends along the whole request, like a proxy should, I know!

So:

// What happens:
Lighttpd:  http://localhost/couchdb/some_request
    |
    V
CouchDB: http://localhost:5984/couchdb/some_request

// What I want to happen:
Lighttpd: http://localhost/couchdb/some_request
    |
    V
CouchDB: http://localhost:5984/some_request

Is there any way to make this setup work?
