Hello, I'm trying to do web server which automatically opens index.html but failed
this is my code
var http = require('http');
var url = require('url');
var fs = require('fs');
const por = 8080;
//Create a server
http.createServer( function (request, response) {
// Parse the request containing file name
var pathname = url.parse(request.url).pathname;
// Print the name of the file for which request is made.
console.log("Request for " + pathname + " received.");
// Read the request file content from file system
fs.readFile(pathname.substr(1), function (err, data) {
if (err) {
//HTTP status: 404
//print error
console.log(err);
response.writeHead(404, {'Content-type': 'text/html'});
} else {
//Page found, HTTP Status: 200 : OK
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-type': 'text/html'});
switch (request.method){
case "GET":
if (request.url !== "/") {
console.log("Another");
response.write(data.toString());
} else {
console.log("Index");
}
break;
default:
break;
}
}response.end();
});
}).listen(por);
console.log("Server runing on http://1270.0.1:8080");
When type localhost:8080 throw me error
Request for / received.
{ Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open ''
at Error (native) errno: -2, code: 'ENOENT', syscall: 'open', path: '' }
I know if type localhost:8080/index.html will work, but that's not the effect I'm looking for.
