## README

nowww
===

Redirects any domain with `www` to the same site without it.

  * `www.foobar3000.com` -> `foobar3000.com`
  * `www.helloworld3000.com` -> `helloworld3000.com`

See [no-www.org][no-www.org] ![no-www.org][no-www.ico]

  [no-www.ico]: http://no-www.org/images/blog-button.gif
  [no-www.org]: http://no-www.org

In short:

  All domains should have a `www` for backwards compatibility with what
early adopters of the internet have come to expect (and ctrl+enter adds it).
However, those domains should redirect to the root of the domain.

  * it means we type four fewer charaters
  * we don't type `http://` anymore, why would we type `www.`?
  * it's what the cool kids do (i.e. github)
  * `ftp`, `irc`, `ssh`, etc all have their own *protocols*. Why should the web also have a prefix?

Installation
===

```bash
npm install nowww
```

Usage
===

```javascript
(function () {
  'use strict';

  var http = require('http')        // (or https / spdy)
    , connect = require('connect')  // or express
    , nowww = require('./')
    , app = connect()
    , server
    ;

  app
    .use(nowww())
    .use(require('serve-static')(__dirname + '/public/'))
    ;

  server = http.createServer();
  server.on('request', app);
  server.listen(3000, function () {
    console.log('Listening on ' + server.address().port);
  });
}());
```
