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.)
Alter the port the script talks to from 8000 to 80:
}).listen(80);
| // works with node-0.2.4, not node-0.3.6; be SURE you got node to build with OpenSSL | |
| // | |
| // you will need working SSL key and cert, otherwise: | |
| // openssl genrsa -out privatekey.pem 1024 | |
| // openssl req -new -key privatekey.pem -out certrequest.csr | |
| // openssl x509 -req -in certrequest.csr -signkey privatekey.pem -out certificate.pem | |
| // | |
| // map port 8443 to 443 and 8080 to 80; see gist 776580 to do this on EC2 | |
| var http = require('http'), crypto = require('crypto'), fs = require("fs"); |

| // When a script appends new SCRIPT tags to the HEAD or BODY, it can | |
| // run into serious trouble. If it was originally included in the HEAD, the | |
| // HEAD might not have fully rendered when it fires, and the BODY isn't there yet. | |
| // And if it's in the BODY, older browsers may blow chunks if it tries to append | |
| // SCRIPT tags to the HEAD. | |
| // | |
| // What seems to work: be HEAD/BODY agnostic. Look for the first SCRIPT tag on the | |
| // page and insert before it. | |

| META QUESTIONS: | |
| Why isn't there a way to prevent the phone from shooting video in vertical format? Who |
