Ditch the www in expressjs

It's 2014, people know what the world wide web is. It's time to redirect that www subdomain:

var redirect = function (req, res, next) {
 var baseUrl = req.protocol + "://" + req.host,
 wwwUrl = req.protocol + "://www.";
 if (baseUrl.substring(0, wwwUrl.length) === wwwUrl) {
 res.redirect(301, baseUrl.replace("://www.", "://") + req.url);
 } else {
 next();
 }
};

app.all("*", redirect);
