Im working with node.js and I would like to know how to display a 404.html instead of a \"404 Not Found\" message.
This is my server.js:
var http = r
H i ,
within your 404 case
response.writeHead(404, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
response.write("404 Not Found\n");
response.end();
You can change to
response.writeHead(404, {"Content-Type": "text/html"});
response.write(HTMLDATA);
response.end();
'HTMLDATA' being either a string of HTML or a reference to a file you have gathered.
response.writeHead()
is always set before the response.write()
.
Also see we have set the response type to 'text/html'
http://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_class_http_serverresponse
Just load 404.html using fs.readFile and serve it with response.write
var http = require("http"),
url = require("url"),
path = require("path"),
fs = require("fs")
port = process.argv[2] || 8888;
http.createServer(function(request, response) {
var uri = url.parse(request.url).pathname
, filename = path.join(process.cwd(), uri);
path.exists(filename, function(exists) {
if(!exists) {
fs.readFile('404.html', "binary", function(err, file) {
if(err) {
response.writeHead(404, {"Content-Type": "text/html"});
response.write("404 Not Found\n");
} else {
response.writeHead(404);
response.write(file, "binary");
}
response.end();
return;
}
}
if (fs.statSync(filename).isDirectory()) filename += 'public/Index/index.html';
fs.readFile(filename, "binary", function(err, file) {
if(err) {
response.writeHead(500, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
response.write(err + "\n");
response.end();
return;
}
response.writeHead(200);
response.write(file, "binary");
response.end();
});
});
}).listen(parseInt(port, 10));
console.log("Static file server running at\n => http://localhost:" + port + "/\nCTRL + C to shutdown");`enter code here`
Do just for the 200... Read a file 404.html and write it to the response, just set the code 404 in writeHead.
response.writeHead(404, {
'Location': 'your/404/path.html'
//add other headers here...
});
response.end();
or with a single line
response.redirect('your/404/path.html');
This might be more of what you're looking for.
fs.readFile('404.html', function(error, data) {
res.writeHead(404, {'content-type': 'text/html'});
res.end(data);
});
