Answer 1

It might be a disconnect between the default encoding for readFile and res.end(). readFile just loads the raw data if you do not specify an encoding whereas end() defaults to utf8. I'm not 100% sure but the raw data from the file could return a shorter length than the utf8 encoded string that end emits.

I tried recreating your error and failed so it might be you need to upgrade your version of node. I'm using the latest code from github.
