Node static proxy

Simplistic node server for serving static content with proxy fallback.

Usage

node app.js <port> <proxy-port> [proxy-host] [root-dir]

Features

• A single ~100-line file.
• No dependencies outside the standard libary.
• If the URL matches a directory, the special file index is served.

Missing features

• Content type isn't set.

Future ideas

• It should be possible to serve different files based on the HTTP method, Accepts header, etc.
• Add option for using configuration files embedded in the file system hierarchy to modify request handling.
• Add templating capabilities for allowing static files to act as simple request handlers.
