Why it was moved

Github gists don't support Pull Requests or any notifications, which made it impossible for me to maintain this (surprisingly popular) gist with fixes, respond to comments and so on. In the interest of maintaining the quality of this resource for others, I've moved it to a proper repo. Cheers!

How to: Allow Node to bind to port 80 without sudo

TL;DR

Only do this if you understand the consequences: all node programs will be able to bind on ports < 1024

sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /usr/local/bin/node

Important: your node location may vary. Use which node to find it, or use it directly in the command:

	#!/usr/bin/env python

	#
	# Converts any integer into a base [BASE] number. I have chosen 62
	# as it is meant to represent the integers using all the alphanumeric
	# characters, [no special characters] = {0..9}, {A..Z}, {a..z}
	#
	# I plan on using this to shorten the representation of possibly long ids,
	# a la url shortenters
	#

	#coding: utf-8
