Description

Author

Pierre-Henry Soria

This package implements a HTTP server without configuration based on Node.js.

It can start listening to HTTP requests on a given port.

The package will serve requests for static files in the current directory when the server is started.

Simple and lite Dev HTTP server made with Node.js that doesn't require any configuration.

Ideal to test or show (make a demonstration) of a static Web project.

Node.js comes with a built-in Web server module. It can handle dynamic requests using callback handlers that execute JavaScript to process different types of Web request events.

This package provides a simplification of the use of the Web server module, so it can handle requests for static files in a directory without further configuration.

pHOServer - Simple and Lite Dev HTTP Server

Overview

Simple and lite Dev HTTP server made with Node.js that doesn't require any configuration.

Ideal to test or show (make a demonstration) of a static Web project.

Usage

Just run pHOServer.js with node.js ($ node pHOServer.js 8000) in the current directory where you have your main HTML files (such as index.html).

Please note that it is just a very simple HTTP-Server for development usage only and cannot be for production usage.

History

Historically, I made this very simple HTTP server in order to show a demonstration of a HTML5 Phaser game I did.

Fun

If you are a nerd, you can/should do something very cool! It's using my Web Browser (pHNavigo) for requesting the contents from this Web server (pHOServer).
