having trouble with multi server requests

[boxxxie]

i want to have a request to my server execute a request to another server with your libraries.

$("session").method("GET").contentType("text/html").contentApp(function(request) {
        var http = require('q-io/http');
        return http.request("localhost:5984")
    })

in this i'm piping to couchdb, i'm ok with http.request only giving me back a stream. i want that stream to go to the app that is making the request.
the above code is throwing errors...
