Вот принцип работы любого вебсервера.

let http = require('http');
let fs = require('fs');

// access dirictory static files
let filesRoot = __dirname + '/access';

// allow rule for files
let fileRules = /(png|jpg|gif|html|js|css)$/i;

// allow file mime list
let fileTypes = {
    png:    'image/png', 
    jpg:    'image/jpg', 
    gif:    'image/gif',
    html:   'text/html',
    css:    'text/css',
    js:     'text/javascript'};

// server error handler
function sendError(req, res) {
    // check method for response type
    res.writeHead(404, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
    res.end('Bas request');
}

// server file send handler
function sendFile(req, res) {

    let type = fileRules.exec(req.url);
        type = type.toLocaleString();
    
    // @todo check file or send error
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': fileTypes[type]});
    res.end(fs.readFileSync(filesRoot + req.url));
}

// server post logic handler
function sendPostData(req, res) {
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
    res.end('This is result post request');
}

// server get logic handler
function sendGetData(req, res) {
    if (req.url == '/' || req.url == '/home') {
        res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': fileTypes['html']});
        res.end(fs.readFileSync(filesRoot + '/home.html'));
    } else {
        res.writeHead(404, {'Content-Type': fileTypes['html']});
        res.end(fs.readFileSync(filesRoot + '/404.html'));
    }
}

// server logic handler
function sendData(req, res) {
    switch(req.method.toLocaleString()) {
        case 'get': sendGetData(req, res); break;
        case 'post': sendPostData(req, res); break;
        default: sendError(req, res);
    }
}

// server request handler
function onRequestEvent(req, res) {
    if (fileRules.test(req.url)) 
        sendFile(req, res);
    else 
        sendData(req, res);
}

let server = http.createServer();
    server.on('request', onRequestEvent)
    server.listen(process.env.PORT || 8000)
