Setting up an HTTP proxy with node and hutch

hutch is a small program that takes a config.json file and spins up a proxy server that takes care of all your sites. It uses seaport to manage your ports automatically, and http-proxy to proxy all your requests to various servers. Because seaport uses semvers, you can place different versions and roles of the same server in your config.json without having to worry about port numbers.

The real magic is seaport and http-proxy. hutch just allows you to use them together.

=====
On November 4th we are organizing an LA Open Source Hackathon. This is an event for coders interested in contributing to open source projects. We are reaching out to ask if members of your groups would like to attend or to host a group table to sprint on the project of your choice.

The event costs $10 dollars, which goes toward food and drinks throughout the day.

The deal:

* We provide tight security to keep the "idea guys", "idea gals", "looking for a technical co-founder" folks and other distractions out.
* We provide food
  - Light breakfast (bagels or something along those lines)

var a = ['cat', 'dog', 'pig', 'bird'];

// works, but you are accessing the a.length property every time.
for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i += 1) {
    console.log(a[i]);
} 

// better because it is caching length, especially for DOM collections
for (var i = 0, len = a.length; i < len; i += 1) {
    console.log(a[i]);
