## 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);

var parser = document.createElement('a');
parser.href = "http://example.com:3000/pathname/?search=test#hash";

parser.protocol; // => "http:"
parser.hostname; // => "example.com"
parser.port;     // => "3000"
parser.pathname; // => "/pathname/"
parser.search;   // => "?search=test"
parser.hash;     // => "#hash"
parser.host;     // => "example.com:3000"
