This module is born out of an annoyance with the Node core. Every method that
receives a callback is called using an error first callback. But this is not the

it can will emit
an error
event when it failed.
npm install connected --save
var connected = require('connected')
, http = require('http');
var app = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
res.end('wobble wobble');
});
connected(app, 80, function (err) {
// Received an error because we are not allowed to listen on port 80
});
And thats it.
