# hellonode! 

the simplest possible http server hello world example in node

## features

 - Example package.json

 - Starts up simple httpServer with helloworld

## installation

     git clone git://github.com/Marak/hellonode.git

     cd hellonode

     node server.js

Now you should have a listening node.js http server running on port 80

## the code

    // requires node's http module

    var http = require('http');

    // creates a new httpServer instance

    http.createServer(function (req, res) {

      

      // ^^ this is the callback, or request handler for the httpServer

      

      // respond to the browser, write some headers so the 

      // browser knows what type of content we are sending

      res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});

      

      // write some content to the browser that your user will see

      res.write('hello, i know nodejitsu.')

      

      // close the response

      res.end();

      

    }).listen(80); // the server will listen on port 80
