Loading basic HTML in Node.js

Question

response.write(\'...

This is a pretty old question...but if your use case here is to simply send a particular HTML page to the browser on an ad hoc basis, I would use something simple like this:

var http = require('http')
,       fs = require('fs');

var server = http.createServer(function(req, res){
  var stream = fs.createReadStream('test.html');
  stream.pipe(res);
});
server.listen(7000);
