Ensured server exists before closing.
Updated tests to use new close function.
Added documentation to README.

 * listen `port` (a function that wraps the object in a webserver, for your convenience)

 Is it then possible to proxy requests by calling these functions

  *  **toProxy**: passes the absolute URL as the `path` (useful for proxying to proxies)
 
+### Shutdown
+
+* When testing or running server within another program it may be necessary to close the proxy.
+* This will stop the proxy from accepting new connections.
