Node.js Response.WriteHead function

Up until now all we’ve been sending into the writeHead function is the status code. However, it can take additional parameters like ‘Content-Length’, ‘Content-Type’. var http = require(‘http’); var fs = require(‘fs’); http.createServer(function(request, response) { response.writeHead(200, {‘Content-Type’: ‘text/html’} ); fs.readFile(‘index.html’, function(err, contents) { response.write(contents); response.end(); }); }).listen(8080);
