Node.js static file server improved version_node.js

First of all, I would like to thank github and the author who provided this source code on github. Today's static file server is a little more complicated than last night's, and you can learn a lot of new things.

If you look carefully, you will find that the code this time has an fs.stat function and a pipe function of the ReadStream object. The stat function is used to obtain file information. The first parameter is the file path passed in, and the second is the callback function. The attribute of the second parameter stats of the callback function is the basic information of the file. The pipe function is used to connect this readable stream to the destination writable stream. The data passed into this stream will be written to the destination stream. Source and destination streams are kept in sync by pausing and resuming the streams when necessary.

The improvement of this static file server is the use of Last-Modified and If-Modified-Since headers, which eliminates the need to return files that already exist to the browser. By the way, the resource can be returned to the resource for gzip or deflate compression according to the compression method of the browser request resource.

var PORT = 8000;
var http = require("http");
var url = require("url");
var fs = require("fs");
var path = require("path");
var mime = require("./mime").types;
var config = require("./config");
var zlib = require("zlib");
var server = http.createServer(function(request, response) {
 response.setHeader("Server", "Node/V5");
 var pathname = url.parse(request.url).pathname;
 console.log("url = " + pathname);
 if (pathname.slice(-1) === "/") {
  pathname = pathname + config.Welcome.file;
 }
 var realPath = __dirname + "/" + path.join("assets", path.normalize(pathname.replace(/\.\./g, "")));
 console.log("realPath = " + realPath);
 var pathHandle = function (realPath) {
  fs.stat(realPath, function (err, stats) {
   if (err) {
    response.writeHead(404, "Not Found", {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
    response.write("stats = " + stats);
    response.write("This request URL " + pathname + " was not found on this server.");
    response.end();
   } else {
    if (stats.isDirectory()) {
     realPath = path.join(realPath, "/", config.Welcome.file);
     pathHandle(realPath);
    } else {
     var ext = path.extname(realPath);
     ext = ext ? ext.slice(1) : 'unknown';
     var contentType = mime[ext] || "text/plain";
     response.setHeader("Content-Type", contentType);
     //获得文件的修改时间 
     var lastModified = stats.mtime.toUTCString();
     var ifModifiedSince = "If-Modified-Since".toLowerCase();
     //设置Last-Modified
     //服务器给浏览器返回文件最后一次修改时间Last-Modified
     response.setHeader("Last-Modified", lastModified);

     if (ext.match(config.Expires.fileMatch)) {
      var expires = new Date();
      expires.setTime(expires.getTime() + config.Expires.maxAge * 1000);
      response.setHeader("Expires", expires.toUTCString());
      response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=" + config.Expires.maxAge);
     }
     //服务器接收浏览器发送过来的If-Modified-Since报文头
     //日期相同表示该资源没有变化则返回304
     //告诉浏览器该资源你已经有了,不需要再请求了
     if (request.headers[ifModifiedSince] && lastModified == request.headers[ifModifiedSince]) {
      response.writeHead(304, "Not Modified");
      response.end();
     } else {
      var raw = fs.createReadStream(realPath);
      var acceptEncoding = request.headers['accept-encoding'] || "";
      var matched = ext.match(config.Compress.match); 
      if (matched && acceptEncoding.match(/\bgzip\b/)) {
       response.writeHead(200, "Ok", {'Content-Encoding': 'gzip'});
       raw.pipe(zlib.createGzip()).pipe(response);
      } else if (matched && acceptEncoding.match(/\bdeflate\b/)) {
       response.writeHead(200, "Ok", {'Content-Encoding': 'deflate'});
       raw.pipe(zlib.createDeflate()).pipe(response);
      } else {
       response.writeHead(200, "Ok");
       raw.pipe(response);
      }
     }
    }
   }
  });
 };

 pathHandle(realPath);
});
server.listen(PORT);
console.log("Server runing at port: " + PORT + ".");

The Expires field declares the time when a web page or URL address is no longer cached by the browser. Once this time is exceeded, the browser should contact the original server. The expiration time is set here to 1 year.

exports.Expires = {
 fileMatch: /^(gif|png|jpg|js|css)$/ig,
 maxAge: 60*60*24*365
};
exports.Compress = {
 match: /css|js|html/ig
};
exports.Welcome = {
 file: "index.html"
};

Enumerate the types of various resources and set the Content-Type according to the extension.

exports.types = {
 "css": "text/css",
 "gif": "image/gif",
 "html": "text/html",
 "ico": "image/x-icon",
 "jpeg": "image/jpeg",
 "jpg": "image/jpeg",
 "js": "text/javascript",
 "json": "application/json",
 "pdf": "application/pdf",
 "png": "image/png",
 "svg": "image/svg+xml",
 "swf": "application/x-shockwave-flash",
 "tiff": "image/tiff",
 "txt": "text/plain",
 "wav": "audio/x-wav",
 "wma": "audio/x-ms-wma",
 "wmv": "video/x-ms-wmv",
 "xml": "text/xml"
};
