httpserver

I've just started on node.js and ran through http://nodebeginner.org/index.html . Great start tutorial but I really want to know is it possible to make both request and response 'global' so any module loaded for the current incoming request can access these... rather than injecting. Ideas? Unlike most web-scripting language, in Node many HTTP requests from different clients can be 'active' at the same time. How would you ever know which client you're responding to? So while you think there's only 1 request and response at any given time, there are actually open requests for all current clients

I am new to web development. I have Android application that hosts some web pages using HTTPServer. I am using Netty to decode/encode request/responses. Now, I want to display basic authentication dialog when someone navigates to the my webpage. Something like this: Can I get some pointers ? Is it something HTTP built in functionality, any RFC ? Do I need to write some java script ? Any help would be great. You just need to send the appropriate headers when a client requests a resource you want to require authentication for. HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Restricted

I am creating a front end in AngularJS for a backend in node.js. I have the option of two simple node.js front end servers to serve the front end web page: one is a simple app.get in express, the other is using the http-server package. Whichever front end server code I use, I get the following browser console message in Chrome: Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user's experience. For more help, check http://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/ . To make sure that this was not caused by anything Angular (or Bootstrap) I have cut back my

My knowledge about network programming is limited, so, all the comments are more than welcome. Essentially my question boils down to the following question: Q1. Is there really such a thing as decentralized asynchronous cross-platform peer-to-peer communication ? Let me explain myself. If we have two http servers running on computers with actual IP addresses, then clearly the answer is yes, assuming one writes a protocol for the interaction. To go one step further, if one of them (or both) is (are) behind a router, then, with port forwarding the communication can still be established. However,

I have followed this website http://raspberrypihelp.net/tutorials/24-raspberry-pi-webserver to setup the HTTP server nginx on my Raspberry Pi and try to setup a site call example.com . But when I run sudo service nginx restart , it said Restarting nginx: nginx: [emerg] unknown directive " " in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/example.com:3 Here is the code in example.com . server { server_name example.com 192.168.1.88; access_log /srv/www/example.com/logs/access.log; error_log /srv/www/example.com/logs/error.log; root /srv/www/example.com/public/; location / { index index.php index.html index.htm; try
