});

API:

###init( options )

Where options can contain following optional arguments:

• loglevel: one of ['fatal'|'error'|'warn'|'info'|'debug'|'trace']
• port: The port on which to run the server
• production: Set this property and the system will be run in production mode. Sets the process.env.NODE_ENV accordingly, plus disables caching on the server side if in production mode. Default is production=false which turns off caching of web pages through the rendering engine
• keyfile: The path to the key file in order to run a HTTPS server
• certfile: The path to the certificate file in order to run a HTTPS server
