level-over-http

level-over-http
===============
Serves and stores items to a level database over http. level-over-http can live stream a level database and accept the same options defined in the LevelDOWN API.

Here is an example of serving 'test.db' over http://localhost:3000/test

``js
var level = require('level');
var http = require('http');
var levelHttp = require('level-over-http');

var db = level('test.db');
var server = http.createServer(levelHttp.serve('/test', db)).listen(3000);
`

To push something to the leveldb, make a POST request.

`js
var options = {
host : 'localhost',
port : 3000,
path : '/test',
method : 'POST'
}

var req = http.request(options, function(res) {
res.pipe(process.stdout);
});

req.on('error', function(e) {
console.log('problem with request: ' + e.message);
})

req.end('{"value":"hello wisconsin"}\n');
`

The following response is streamed to stdout.

`
{"result":"success","key":"0001427765362253.000000000"}
`

To live stream something from the leveldb, make a GET request.

`js
var options = {
host : 'localhost',
port : 3000,
path : '/test',
headers : { gte : '0001427765362253.000000000' }
}

var req = http.request(options, onResponse);

req.end();
`

Notice the headers object can contain the same options as defined in the LevelDOWN API.

`
{"key":"0001427765362229.000000000","value":"hello wisconsin"}
``

level-over-http uses lexicographic-timestamp for key generation.
