Hi guys apparently people get excited by nodeJS and I would like to know the equivalence of var http = require('http'); http.createServer(function (req, res) { res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'}); res .end('Hello World\n'); }).listen(1337, "127.0.0.1"); console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:1337/'); To run the server, put the code into a file example.js and execute it with the node program: % node example.js Server running at http://127.0.0.1:1337/ Here is an example of a simple TCP server which listens on port 1337 and echoes whatever you send it: var net = require('net'); var server = net.createServer(function (socket) { socket.write("Echo server\r\n"); socket.pipe(socket); }); server.listen(1337, "127.0.0.1"); we should communicate better :) Stef
