Support for nodejs #1

I want to debug my local nodejs application, but on the DevTools Server Website I get following error: Error: Cannot read property 'match' of undefined My node index.js file:

const server = new DevToolsServer({
    containerHost: "127.0.0.1:9229",
    devToolsServerPort: 9229,
    insecureConnection: true,
});
await server.start();

and start it with: node --inspect=0.0.0.0:9222 index.js

We never tested this library with Node inspector, as it was made for connecting to browsers. It could probably work, but I can't promise any time frame for a fix/update, because we're quite busy with other stuff at the moment.

I'm curious, what is the use case for debugging with this package locally, instead of connecting directly from Chrome?

I wanted to remote debug my production program, on another server and eventually got it to work with a ssh port forward:

ssh -L 9222:localhost:9229 user@example.org

But it would be convenient to remote debug it from my phone/browser without the connection process.
