/**
 * converted stringify() to jQuery plugin.
 * serializes a simple object to a JSON formatted string.
 * Note: stringify() is different from jQuery.serialize() which URLEncodes form elements

 * UPDATES:
 *      Added a fix to skip over Object.prototype members added by the prototype.js library

The Problem

Standard practices say no non-root process gets to talk to the Internet on a port less than 1024. How, then, could I get Node talking on port 80 on EC2? (I wanted it to go as fast as possible and use the smallest possible share of my teeny tiny little micro-instance's resources, so proxying through nginx or Apache seemed suboptimal.)

The temptingly easy but ultimately wrong solution:

Alter the port the script talks to from 8000 to 80:

}).listen(80);

// You should probably:

//   npm install socket.io
//   curl -O https://github.com/LearnBoost/Socket.IO/raw/master/socket.io.min.js

First, install nginx for mac with "brew install nginx".

Then follow homebrew's instructions to know where the config file is.

1. To use https you will need a self-signed certificate: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/ssl-certificate-self
2. Copy it somewhere (use full path in the example below for server.* files)
3. sudo nginx -s reload
4. Access https://localhost/

Edit /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:

http.createServer(function (req, res) {

High level style in javascript.

Opinions are like assholes, every one has got one.

This one is mine.

Punctuation: who cares?

Punctuation is a bikeshed. Put your semicolons, whitespace, and commas where you like them.
