Virtual Hostess

Virtual host sub-domain mapping. This is semi-extracted from connect.vhost().

This is different than connect's vhost as it sits between the HTTP server and any "apps" instead of being used within an app.

Example

var koaApp = require('koa')()
var expressApp = require('express')()
var connectApp = require('connect')()

var hostess = require('vhostess')()

http.createServer(hostess).listen(3000)

hostess.use('koa.app.com', koaApp.callback())
hostess.use('express.app.com', expressApp)
hostess.use('connect.app.com', connectApp)
hostess.use(function (req, res) {
  res.statusCode = 404
  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain; charset=utf-8')
  res.end('subdomain needed')
})

API

var hostess = Hostess()

var hostess = require('vhostess')()
http.createServer(hostess).listen()

Returns a (req, res) function to be passed to http.createServer() or to app.use() in Connect/Express.

hostess.use(hostname, fn)

hostname such as example.com, *.example.com, etc. fn is a callback function with the signature (req, res).

Notes:

• next is not supported.
• Mounting HTTP servers is not supported either.
• Order matters.

hostess.use(fn)

Default callback. You must supply one, otherwise the server will throw.
