Read this chapter, write the program on this page, then pass a short check to open the next one.

Tiny servers without Express.

HTTP Module Basics

node:http can create a server. Express wraps this with routing and middleware — learn the idea here, then move to Express.

  • Set statusCode and headers before writing the body.
  • listen(port) starts accepting connections.
console.log("http-basics");
