to communicate between 2 pages using nowjs

[maxi]

How to make communicate two pages on the same server?

Example:

var html = require('fs').readFileSync(__dirname+'/helloworld.html');
var server = require('http').createServer(function(req, res){
res.end(html);
});

server.listen(8080);

I'd like to open another connection with new page 'helloworld1.html'
and syncing 'now Object' in both.

is it possible ?

thanks again

Hi Maxi,

You simply have to serve the other HTML page any way you choose. As long as the server is the same, clients will connect to NowJS using the same `now` object.

Hi Eric,

i tried with this :

var fs = require('fs');
var server = require('http').createServer(function(req, response){
fs.readFile(__dirname+'/game.tpl', function(err, data){
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type':'text/html'});
response.write(data);
response.end();
});
});

var server1= require('http').createServer(function(req, response){
fs.readFile(__dirname+'/report.tpl', function(err, data){
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type':'text/html'});
response.write(data);
response.end();
});
});

server.listen(8090);
server1.listen(8090);

but I received an error :

EADDRINUSE, Address already in use
Error: EADDRINUSE, Address already in use

at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:126:26)

Maxi,

You don't need seperate servers to serve multiple html files. Instead you need to parse the response and then serve files conditionally.

Consider using `express` http://expressjs.com/ as it abstracts away all of the difficulty of serving files and is compatible with NowJS

thanks Eric,
I solved it.

var server = require('http').createServer(function(req, response){
fs.readFile(__dirname+'/game.tpl', function(err, data){
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type':'text/html'});
response.write(data);
response.end();
});

fs.readFile(__dirname+'/report.tpl', function(err, data){
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type':'text/html'});
response.write(data);
response.end();
});
});
