CouchDB on windows says No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource

Question

I am trying to use CouchDB as a back-end for my application. I tried to install couchDB on my windows OS machine. It works fine.

When i tried to run this example after creating the db on "Projects", the console displays an error.

No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://fiddle.jshell.net' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 405.

I tried to do fix it by this suggestion, how to add cors in couchDB, but i don't find [cors] section

I manually created [cors] section, that too did not work.

UPDATE: I am using the latest version 1.6.1

@KimStebel I went to this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\CouchDB\etc\couchdb and opened local.ini and added the [cors] section — Sajeetharan, Jan 28 '15 at 13:27
Dump Q, but what "environments" are involved? Are you actually trying to run the fiddle from JS-Fiddle against your machine? — Daniel, Jan 31 '15 at 08:49

you need to enable CORS on COUCHDB administration side and allow all sites
