dominictarr: aha, I found the problem
[1:11pm] dominictarr: it's to do with browserify bundles
[1:11pm] dominictarr: the problem is in securify
[1:12pm] dominictarr: the bfy stuff is bundling buffer-browserify
[1:12pm] dominictarr: when we want it to just leave that out and use the core version.
[1:14pm] no9: Ah so the error was in the right place so
[1:16pm] dominictarr: yeah, the problem was it was doing res.end(buffer)
[1:16pm] dominictarr: except node didn't agree that Buffer.isBuffer(buffer)
[1:19pm] dominictarr: how i found the bug: read the node.js http code, then added a monkey patch to log what was really being passed to res.end(….)
[1:24pm] dominictarr: if you want an urgent hack - fix level-static to always write strings
[1:24pm] dominictarr: or
[1:25pm] dominictarr: var end = http.OutgoingMessage.prototype.end; http.OutgoingMessage.prototype.end = function (data) { if (data) data = data.toString(); end.call(this, data) }

will fix soon.
