##node build sever

trigger another build

An http server to use to "build" (npm install) a nodejs project for a different OS. Because some NPM modules use native bindings and are thus dependant on system specific libraries in some cases, we needed a "cross-building" solution. Well, the simplest seemed to be to run an http server on the specific architecture we need, and then use an http verb to "build" the source.

###Usage

Install on system of choice. Make sure git and an .ssh key is setup correctly, then simply:

curl http://<server>5067/<project_name>

And you will receive a tarball containg the project, installed with npm install and so forth.
