Prick.js

=========

### A simple web framework for Node.js

There's example.js for you to checkout and the there code is documented.

*   import prick

        var prick = require('prick');

*   create a new prick

        var app = new prick(); // skipping the new keyword is ok too

*   Start pricking urls

        app.forPath("/xyz", function(request, response){

            response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type":"text/html"})

            response.write("
hello world
");

            response.end();

        });


*   Incase of a regex url pass a regex object and a match is passed to your callback

        app.forPath("/xyz", function(request, response, match){

            response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type":"text/html"})

            response.write("the match is "+ match);

            response.end();

        });

404s are handled based on unfinished responses, so if you leave a request unended... i'll threaten you with a 404 :)

Right now there's no default headers. So this damn thing sounds lengthy. I'll fix this soon.

## TODO

* helpers to set headers and status code

* Static file handlers

* WebSocket support (via Faye)

* Session and cookie support

* Dependency management

Until then take a look at example.js for some goodness :)

### Happy message

I'm happy coz I can say...

> "dude, I wrote a web framework".

Ok seriously, I wrote this because I wanted to learn how frameworks worked and I needed a nice little framework to handle static files too (easily). Haven't reached that milestone, but soon will.
