Generic Image Server with Node.js

Description

Image server implemented with Node.js. The server provides an image and resize it maintaining its aspect ratio. You need to specify a image resolution in order to resize it.

By default, if the original image resolutions is smaller than the requested one, it cannot be extended. To force the extend, you must specify in the url a parameter force=true.

You can also crop the image with the resolution requested in the url. To do that, you need to specify a fit=true at url parameters.
