In most examples you find on the web, an `index.html` file is served like the following:
function serveIndexPage(response) {
fs.readFile('__dirname + /public/index.html', function (err, data) {
response.end(data);
});
};
This seems like a bad idea, as the whole file is read into memory and then send to the client. Is there some better way to do this? I know that libaries like Connect and Express provide such a functionality, but for my project, I'd like to use plain node.js.
**EDIT**
Also, you sometimes see `readFileSync` used, which is even worse IMHO. You could use fs.createReadStream(file).pipe(response) which might improve performance, but if you're worried about this kind of performance, I suggest you serve static files using a static file server or a CDN.
