router to bounce requests to either api or web servers

# DocParse Router
A seaport & bouncy powered router to bounce requests to the appropriate service provider

## Services
Currently there a two services: **api** and **web**. Any url that looks like [http://localhost:3000/api/](http://localhost:3000/api) will be bounced to the api server. All other requests will be handled be the web server.


### Configuration
Note that a local_config.json file path must be supplied as a --config argument when running the *spinUpRouter.js* file
```
node spinUpRouter.js --config test/local_config.json
```

The local_config.json file should specify at a minimum the port seaport will listen on, as well as the external application port that the clients will connect to.

```
{
  seaport: {
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": 9000,
  },
  application: {
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": 3000
  }
}
```
