simpleS

simpleS will allow a Node.js installation to receive and respond to HTTP requests, enabling developers to use Node.js as a plain ol' Apache server.

This in turn will allow websites and other public services to run on Node.js, a much more efficient platform for the Web than most available today.

Documentation is included with the download package.
