httpd-node is a simple HTTPD that includes support for ssl and multiple subdomains.
npm install httpd-node
npm start
The standalone config can be found in standalone.js.
var httpd = require( 'httpd-node' );httpd.environ( 'root' , '/path/to/your/public/directory' );An options object can be passed to the httpd constructor:
var server = new httpd( options );| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |

When verbose is true, the http response code and request path will be logged to the console. |

First, require httpd and setup your environment:
var httpd = require( 'httpd-node' );
httpd.environ( 'root' , '/path/to/your/public/directory' );Assuming your public directory contains a www directory, all you need to get started is:
var server = new httpd();
server.start();Point yourdomain.com and rad.yourdomain.com to different directories:
var server = new httpd();
server.setHttpDir( 'default' , '/cool' );
server.setHttpDir( 'rad' , '/rad' );
server.start();HTTPS on port 8080:
var server = new httpd({
port: 8080,
ssl: {
key: '/absolute/path/to/ssl/key.key',
cert: '/absolute/path/to/ssl/cert.crt'
}
});
server.start();- Adds a new http directory and subdomain. The default directory is
/www.
server.setHttpDir( 'www' , '/www' );
server.setHttpDir( 'cdn' , '/cdn' );
// to override the default
server.setHttpDir( 'default' , '/some_other_path' );- Adds a callback that will be executed before the response is sent.
datais an object containing subdomain, httpRoot, and request path.
server.use(function( request , response , data ) {
// do stuff here
});- Same as httpd.environ, but sets the environment for the server instance rather than the default httpd environment.
server.environ( 'root' , '/path/to/your/public/directory' );- Starts the httpd instance.
server.start();
