# PuSH subscriber as Connect middleware

This module provides a [PuSH

(pubsubhubbub)](http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com) subscriber. This is a

object with methods for subscribing to, and unsubscribing from, topics

on PuSH hubs.

The object gives you a middleware you can use with

[Connect](http://www.senchalabs.org/connect/connect.html) or

[Express](http://expressjs.com/guide.html); provided you host it

somewhere suitably accessible via HTTP, it will then accept HTTP

updates from the hubs and emit them as events.

    var subscriber = require('snrub')

      .createSubscriber({'host': 'example.com:8000'});

    var app = connect(subscriber.middleware());

    subscriber.subscribe('http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com', // hub

                         'http://blog.cloudfoundry.com/feed');

    subscriber.on('subscribe', function(topic) {

      console.log("Subscribed to " + topic;)

    });

    subscriber.on('update', function(topic, content) {

      console.log("Content from " + topic);

      console.log(content);

    });

    app.listen(8000); // pretending we are on host example.com
