A simple Node.js server that responds to www. requests with a redirect to the same URL without the pointless www. subdomain.

I wrote this to be used with the wonderful now.sh service. You can deploy it to Now and alias your app's www. subdomain to the deployment with the following command:

$ now https://github.com/ericf/nowww -f --alias www.example.com

Now any requests that come into https://www.example.com will redirect (301) to https://example.com. The URL path and query string will be included, but the fragment (#foo) won't because browsers don't pass it to servers.

You can set the following environment variables:

• PORT: 5000
• STATUS: 301

Here's an example of setting the status code to 302 when deploying to Now:

$ now https://github.com/ericf/nowww -f -e STATUS=302 --alias www.example.com
