Create a server

Create a standard http server.

var protocolly = require('protocolly');

var server = protocolly('http');

server.listen(80);

Create a secure https server.

var server = protocolly('https', {/* secure options */});

server.listen(443);

Create a secure SPDY server.

var server = protocolly('spdy', {/* secure options */});

server.listen(443);

Create an express server.

var server = protocolly('express');

server.get('/', function(req, res){
  res.end('Hello world');
});

server.listen(80);

Create a secure express server.

var server = protocolly('express', 'https', {/* secure options */});

Create a secure SPDY express server.

var server = protocolly('express', 'spdy', {/* secure options */});

All combinations:

Standard

var protocolly = require('protocolly')
  , server
  ;

// HTTP
server = protocolly();
// or
server = protocolly('http');
server = protocolly('connect'); // CONNECT
server = protocolly('express'); // EXPRESS

// and finally
server.listen();

or secure

var protocolly = require('protocolly')
  , server
  , fs = require('fs')
  ;

// Require keys if creating a secure server.
var secure = {
  key: fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'keys', 'proty.key')),
  cert: fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'keys', 'proty.crt')),
  ca: fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'keys', 'proty.pem'))
});

// HTTPS
server = protocolly('https', secure);
server = protocolly('connect', 'https', secure); // CONNECT
server = protocolly('express', 'https', secure); // EXPRESS

// SPDY
server = protocolly('spdy', secure);
server = protocolly('connect', 'spdy', secure); //  CONNECT
server = protocolly('express', 'spdy', secure); // EXPRESS

server.listen();

Defaults

Set up default parameters

var protocolly = require('protocolly')
  , server
  ;

protocolly.defaults.provider = 'express'; // default `http`
protocolly.defaults.protocol = 'spdy'; // default `http`

server = protocolly({/* secure */}); // SPDY EXPRESS

server.listen();

Using object as parameters

var protocolly = require('protocolly')
  , server
  ;

server = protocolly({
  provider: 'express',
  protocol: 'spdy',
  key: '..',
  cert: '..',
  ca: '..'
});

server.listen();

Support the old createServer

protocolly.createServer() works just as like protocolly().

var protocolly = require('protocolly')
  , server
  ;

server = protocolly.createServer('express');

server.get('/', function(req, res){
  res.end('Hello world');
});

server.listen();
