Sockets and Nodes—An Experiment (Part I)

  Instead of reading in static files yourself, you can just use connect (or s/connect/express/g and it'll also work): var connect = require('connect'); var server = connect.createServer(connect.staticProvider(__dirname + '/static')).listen(4000); Pow, that was easy! Plus, since connect (and express) are just up the prototype chain from http.Server, it works great with socket.io.
