server.js

process.setgid('nobody')
process.setuid('nobody')

require('rconsole')
  .set({ facility: 'local0' })

require('http')
  .createServer(require(__dirname + '/vimeo'))
  .listen(80)

vimeo.js

global.timeout = 2500

var request = require('request')

function route (req, res) {
  res.socket.setNoDelay()
  switch (true) {
    case /vimeo\/thumbnail\/[0-9]+\/[0-3]\.jpg/.test(req.url):
      var id = req.url.match(/[0-9]+/)[0]
      request({ 
        timeout: global.timeout
        , url: 'http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/'+id+'.json' 
      }, function (error, response, body) {
        try {
          body = JSON.parse(body)
        }
        catch (err) {
          console.error(err)
          res.end()
        }
        // thumbnail_small
        // thumbnail_medium
        // thumbnail_large
        console.notice('vimeo thumbnail', req.url)
        request.get(body[0].thumbnail_small).pipe(res)
      })
    break
    default:
      res.end()
  }
}

module.exports = route
