Why doesn't my method of displaying an image in a browser on nodejs work?

Question

JavaScript

The code -

var http = require('http').createServer().listen(8080);
var fs = require('fs');

http.on('request', function(req, res){
  res.writeHead(200);

  var file = fs.createReadStream('logo.gif');
  file.pipe(res);

});

There is not even a root html element.

Answer 1

Everything works, put the image in the same folder, run it, open 127.0.0.1:8080 Here, of course, HTTP headers are not formed, but it works. Most likely your node process does not have access to the file, check the permissions, if it does not help, then write the file name like this './logo.gif'.
