Two node.js servers?

I want to run two node.js httpservers on different ports:

var http = require('http');        

var dbserver = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
    res.write('<html><body><h2 align=center>TEST index.html.</h2></body></html>');
    res.end();
});

dbserver.listen(8888);

var s = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
    res.write('hello world');
    res.end();
});

s.listen(8080);

I want to make android application that will connect to my Node.js server on port 8888 on AppFog hosting, send a message to the server, and receive a response from it. And if i open my server from browser i get just a simple html page. But my code doesn't works. Why?

Solution

  • Well, well, well, I've had an e-mail answer from AppFog support it sounds like this:

    Hi!

    Unfortunately, only HTTP traffic is supported on AppFog, so websockets and UDP traffic won't work. Websocket support is on our roadmap, though, so please stay tuned!

    So the problemm was not in Node.js, and not in my code, but on AppFog. Thank you all very much for your help!
