# Motivation

[tar-serve-http](https://github.com/131/tar-serve-http) exposes a tar archive contents as an http middleware.

# API/usage

```

const http     = require('http');

const mountTar = require('tar-serve-http');

var server = http.createServer(mountTar("/some/file.tar"));

server.listen(0, function() {

  let port = this.address().port;

  console.log("tar contents is now accessible on http://localhost:%d/", port);

  server.close(); //close server and release tar

});

```
