"Node.js is an evented I/O framework for the V8 JavaScript engine. It is intended for writing scalable network programs such as web servers." [1] Node.js is not a web server, and therefor it should not have web server functionality built in to it. You are able to build a web server using Node.js if you so desired. What you are looking for is a Server Side JavaScript WebServer which there are a few of - none that I have tried. Ones to look at include Firecat [2], Appweb [3], EJScript [4] and jsws [5]. These were found with a google search for "javascript web server".
