<p>An example of a <a href="http.html">web server</a> written with Node which responds with &#39;Hello
World&#39;:
</p>
<pre><code>var http = require(&#39;http&#39;);
http.createServer(function (request, response) {
response.writeHead(200, {&#39;Content-Type&#39;: &#39;text/plain&#39;});
response.end(&#39;Hello World\n&#39;);
}).listen(8124);
console.log(&#39;Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8124/&#39;);</code></pre>
<p>To run the server, put the code into a file called <code>example.js</code> and execute
it with the node program
</p>
<pre><code>&gt; node example.js
Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8124/</code></pre>
<p>All of the examples in the documentation can be run similarly.
