Nodejs: How return different content types with same response (text and image)?

Question

I\'m trying to learn nodejs and I thought the best way to do this would be to try doing some stuff without using express or any other non-core modules. I\'m stuck on trying

Answer 1

If you do response.write(''); as mentioned above the image file would be sent only when browser sends GET for the image. It would become multi-part request.

Or you can do it like this. It is possible to send your image in binary form in HTML. Use :

where imagedata is a base64 encoding of gif image. So do this in node.js :

//Write text in response.
content = get-image-file-contents;     //store image into content
imagedata = new Buffer(content).toString('base64');    //encode to base64
response.write('');//send image
response.end();

Check here for correct image conversion NodeJS base64 image encoding/decoding not quite working

This sends one response which sends both text and image. Only one header is required for response response.writeHead(200, {'content-type':'text/html'});
