Usage



Browse http://localhost/locations to witness the magic



You will also want to look at Faker which can create said magic
             		                            
express = require 'express'
gzippo = require 'gzippo'
app = express.createServer()
             		           
                               
                            
                                
               
Configuration



The config file is config.json, which is shared between server and faker
             		                            
config = JSON.parse require('fs').readFileSync './config.json', 'utf8'

app.set 'view engine', 'jade'
app.set 'view options', { layout: false }
             		           
                               
                            
                                
               
Routing



To see a map of all the location feeds, GET /locations
             		                            
app.get '/locations', (req, res) ->
  res.render 'map', locals: { config: config }

app.use gzippo.staticGzip(__dirname + '/public')
app.use app.router
app.listen 80
