webapp package is required?

[mart-jansink]

I'm trying to run a headless Meteor process, so without the web interface. To this end I removed the meteor-platform package and manually added the underscore, random, ejson, check, mongo, ddp and meteor packages. However, this doesn't work with node-ddp-client as the connected callback is never called.

Any idea why the ddp package by itself doesn't suffice for node-ddp-client to connect?
