Node.js Mongoose+GridFS Example

Half baked thoughts with more to come.

This application illustrates using mongodb's GridStore through mongoose to store files in mongodb's GridFS.

An interesting addition is that when files are downloaded they are streamed from mongodb rather than loading the whole file into memory at once.
