Connect

Connect is an extensible HTTP server framework for node, providing high performance "plugins" known as middleware.

Connect is bundled with over 14 commonly used middleware, including a logger, session support, cookie parser, and more. Be sure to view the 1.0 documentation.

Middleware

• csrf
• basicAuth
• bodyParser
• cookieParser
• directory
• errorHandler
• favicon
• limit
• logger
• methodOverride
• query
• responsetime
• session
• static
• staticCache

Static file serving

The benchmarks below show the static() middleware requests per second vs static() with the staticCache() cache layer, out performing other popular node modules, while maintaining more features like Range request etc.

• static(): 2700 rps
• node-static: 5300 rps
• static() + staticCache(): 7500 rps

first:

$ npm install -d
