node-http-server/example/basic/advancedApp.js

A very simple and fast http server for node, bash, and spawnable from C, Python etc. It is lightweight and great for embedded solutions as well as everyday development or public facing apps.

//import the `node-http-server` module
//` const server=require(‘node-http-server’); `
const server=require('../../server/Server.js');

// instantiate ` config ` as a new ` server.config ` instance so we get all the defaults.
// This will allow us to perform deeper modifications without corrupting the default set.
const config=new server.Config;

//customize the 404 error body
config.errors['404']    = 'These are not the files you are looking for...';

//add support for mp4
config.contentType.mp4  = 'video/mp4';

//set the node server port to 8005
config.port             = 8005;

//set the server to be verbose so we can see detailed info on the server, it's requests and responses
config.verbose          = true;

//set the root public directory
config.root             = __dirname+'/appRoot/';

//start the server
server.deploy(config);

//checkout the server instance
console.log(server);
