Disclaimer

I probably got this snippet from somewhere on the internet but unfortunately I didn't save the original source location to reference back to it.

app.js

var express = require('express');
 var app = express();

/* serves main page */
app.get("/", function(req, res) {
    res.send("help me, this server is so lame.");
});

app.get("/setup/offer", function(req, res) {
	console.log("Getting request...\n===");
	//console.log(req);
	//console.log("===");
    res.send("help me, this server is so lame.");
});

app.post("/user/add", function(req, res) {
    /* some server side logic */
    console.log(req);
    res.send("OK");
});

/* serves all the static files */
app.get(/^(.+)$/, function(req, res){
    console.log('static file request : ' + req.params);
    res.sendfile( __dirname + req.params[0]);
});

var port = process.env.PORT || 8008;
app.listen(port, function() {
    console.log("Listening on " + port);
});
