I want to run a very simple HTTP server. Every GET request to `example.com` should get `index.html` served to it but as a regular HTML page (i.e., same experience as when you read normal web pages).
Using the code below, I can read the content of `index.html`. How do I serve `index.html` as a regular web page?
var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');
var index = fs.readFileSync('index.html');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end(index);
}).listen(9615);
----------
One suggestion below is complicated and requires me to write a `get` line for each resource (CSS, JavaScript, images) file I want to use.
How can I serve a single HTML page with some images, CSS and JavaScript?
