A demo of a bunyan shim to the winston logging system to enable using a Winston logging setup with restify (which uses bunyan logging internally).

Baseline server: just-restify.js

client:

$ curl -i http://0.0.0.0:8080/ping
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 6
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Accept, Accept-Version, Content-Length, Content-MD5, Content-Type, Date, X-Api-Version
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET
Access-Control-Expose-Headers: X-Api-Version, X-Request-Id, X-Response-Time
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-MD5: C99yNl2XblAeEPCZTW1AXA==
Date: Mon, 24 Dec 2012 22:39:46 GMT
Server: myapp
X-Api-Version: 1.0.0
X-Request-Id: e22c1ab0-4337-456d-a6ed-3f6d02988a3d
X-Response-Time: 1

"pong"

server:

$ node just-restify.js
myapp listening at http://0.0.0.0:8080

Default logging: restify-bunyan.js

Client behaviour is the same as above.

server:

$ node restify-logging.js
