I want to run a very simple HTTP server. Every GET request to example.com should get index.html served to it but as a regular HTML page (i.e., same

You don't need to use any NPM modules to run a simple server, there's a very tiny library called "NPM Free Server" for Node:
- NPM Free Server on GitHub
50 lines of code, outputs if you are requesting a file or a folder and gives it a red or green color if it failed for worked. Less than 1KB in size (minified).

var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');
var index = fs.readFileSync('index.html');

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
    // change the to 'text/plain' to 'text/html' it will work as your index page
    res.end(index);
}).listen(9615);

I think you where searching for this. In your index.html, simply fill it with normal html code - whatever you want to render on it, like:

<html>
    <h1>Hello world</h1>
</html>

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you wanted, however, you can try changing:
```
{'Content-Type': 'text/plain'}
```
to this:
```
{'Content-Type': 'text/html'}
```
This will have the browser client display the file as html instead of plain text.

Most of the answers above describe very nicely how contents are being served. What I was looking as additional was listing of the directory so that other contents of the directory can be browsed. Here is my solution for further readers:

'use strict';

var finalhandler = require('finalhandler');
var http = require('http');
var serveIndex = require('serve-index');
var serveStatic = require('serve-static');
var appRootDir = require('app-root-dir').get();
var log = require(appRootDir + '/log/bunyan.js');

var PORT = process.env.port || 8097;

// Serve directory indexes for reports folder (with icons)
var index = serveIndex('reports/', {'icons': true});

// Serve up files under the folder
var serve = serveStatic('reports/');

// Create server
var server = http.createServer(function onRequest(req, res){
    var done = finalhandler(req, res);
    serve(req, res, function onNext(err) {
    if (err)
        return done(err);
    index(req, res, done);
    })
});


server.listen(PORT, log.info('Server listening on: ', PORT));

Step1 (inside command prompt [I hope you cd TO YOUR FOLDER]) : npm install express

Step 2: Create a file server.js
```
var fs = require("fs");
var host = "127.0.0.1";
var port = 1337;
var express = require("express");

var app = express();
app.use(express.static(__dirname + "/public")); //use static files in ROOT/public folder

app.get("/", function(request, response){ //root dir
    response.send("Hello!!");
});

app.listen(port, host);
```
Please note, you should add WATCHFILE (or use nodemon) too. Above code is only for a simple connection server.

STEP 3: node server.js or nodemon server.js

There is now more easy method if you just want host simple HTTP server. npm install -g http-server

and open our directory and type http-server

The way I do it is to first of all install node static server globally via
```
npm install node-static -g
```
then navigate to the directory that contains your html files and start the static server with static.

Go to the browser and type localhost:8080/"yourHtmlFile".
