HTTP module

Node fit for http server. To use http module, client must require('http).

To create http server


http.createServer([requestListener])   - it will create a new webserver object.

http.request([port,host])  - refer to the server to connect.


see this simple example
///here we have to include the module, http is a variable, im taking

var http=require("http");


//the request is a read stream which gives data for incoming whereas response object is a write stream //   is used to send data to the client.

var server=http.createServer(function(req,res){




// here header we are sending  is 200
    res.writeHead(200,{'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
    res.end('hello welcome to nodemongo.asia\n');
   
});
// to run the server on port


server.listen(1337,"localhost");


Node.js offers http module and createServer method returns an object to respond http requests. Object inherits http.Server prototype.
