Relatively new to Node, so if I make a statement that is outright wrong, please let me know.
Let's say I have 3 Express apps over 2 domains: *Default website*: www.domain.com (/hosts/www/app.js) *Alpha API website*: api.domain.com/alpha (/hosts/api/alpha/app.js) *Beta API website*: api.domain.com/beta (/hosts/api/beta/app.js) I'm looking to build an infrastructure that allows me to handle routing all incoming requests through a central "AppRouter" that looks at the Protocol, Domain and Port combination (what I'm calling an 'endpoint') to know which app to route the request off to. For example, if it sees: https://www.domain.com/this/that, it'll know that: "With protocol 'https' and domain 'www.domain.com' and port: 80, I send this to the 'Default website' express app (which takes over from that point to process the '/this/that' or remainder of the path in the url. My problem I'm encountering, is that in order to bring up a 'AppRouter' application, I have to specify a port to bind to. So if I bind it to port 80, I'll miss all requests on https (443) or other ports I might want to support. Am I taking the wrong approach to this functionality, or am I too complex in my approach? Does node support a more simplified approach to this problem like "Just spin up a node instance per app", etc. I'm using a VPS hosting, and am new to it as well, so I appreciate any feedback from someone whose been in a similar situation. -- Job board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ New group rules: https://gist.github.com/othiym23/9886289#file-moderation-policy-md Old group rules: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
