Firstly create app.js file in the directory you want to publish.
var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');
var mime = require('mime');
http.createServer(function(req,res){
if (req.url != '/app.js') {
var url = __dirname + req.url;
fs.stat(url,function(err,stat){
if (err) {
res.writeHead(404,{'Content-Type':'text/html'});
res.end('Your requested URI('+req.url+') wasn\'t found on our server');
} else {
var type = mime.getType(url);
var fileSize = stat.size;
var range = req.headers.range;
if (range) {
var parts = range.replace(/bytes=/, "").split("-");
var start = parseInt(parts[0], 10);
var end = parts[1] ? parseInt(parts[1], 10) : fileSize-1;
var chunksize = (end-start)+1;
var file = fs.createReadStream(url, {start, end});
var head = {
'Content-Range': `bytes ${start}-${end}/${fileSize}`,
'Accept-Ranges': 'bytes',
'Content-Length': chunksize,
'Content-Type': type
}
res.writeHead(206, head);
file.pipe(res);
} else {
var head = {
'Content-Length': fileSize,
'Content-Type': type
}
res.writeHead(200, head);
fs.createReadStream(url).pipe(res);
}
}
});
} else {
res.writeHead(403,{'Content-Type':'text/html'});
res.end('Sorry, access to that file is Forbidden');
}
}).listen(8080);
Simply run node app.js and your server shall be running on port 8080. Besides video it can stream all kinds of files.
