Question

I’m trying to learn node.js. I made a http server:

 http.createServer(function(request, response) {
  response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "test/html"});
  response.write("Hello World");
  response.end();
  }).listen(8888);

When I go to localhost:8888/, the page suppose to say “Hello World” but instead, a files download that has “Hello World” in it. Is this what is suppose to happen?

Answer 1

It looks like you have set the Content-Type to test/html rather than text/html. Your browser doesn’t know how to handle test/html so it gives you the option to download the file.
