http-stahp v0.0.1

http-stahp

This is a very simple http module wrapper that adds in a following nice extras (believe it or not, there is nothing on NPM that meets meets this criteria):

• Ability to choose host, port and folder to serve static content out of.
• Basic socket tracking.
• The ability to shut down the server, even in cases where the http.close() method doesn't work (and in some cases, it simply doesn't).

Example Setup

Pretty straightforward. The main additional function is the stop method.

var httpStahp = require('http-stahp');
httpStahp.start({host:'localhost',port:'8080',root:'/tmp'}, function (eError) { 
    if (eError) throw eError;
    ...
});
...
httpStahp.stop(function (eError) { 
    if (eError) throw eError;
});
