$ npm install vhostvar vhost = require('vhost')Create a new middleware function to hand off request to handle when the incoming
host for the request matches hostname. The function is called as
handle(req, res, next), like a standard middleware.
hostname can be a string or a RegExp object. When hostname is a string it can
contain * to match 1 or more characters in that section of the hostname. When
hostname is a RegExp, it will be forced to case-insensitive (since hostnames are)
and will be forced to match based on the start and end of the hostname.
When host is matched and the request is sent down to a vhost handler, the req.vhost
property will be populated with an object. This object will have numeric properties
corresponding to each wildcard (or capture group if RegExp object provided) and the
hostname that was matched.
