Nitrode: A lightweight HTTP Server on top of Node.js

Released earlier today was Nitrode, which aims to be FASTCGI type server for Node.js, this is a server for those who want the power of something like Nginx, but would prefer to write the logic in JavaScript.

Nitrode boasts pretty impressive features for a first release, some notable features including:

• Virtual Host Configuration
• Redirection
• ETags and If-Modified-Since support
• Static file serving
• SSL support
• HTTP Basic Authentication

For now, there’s an example.js file up in the repository on github, and it’s author, Oliver Morgan still says there’s a lot of work to be done on it.
