Question

Node.js example gives 2 responses?

I have made an example script from Node.js website main page like so:

var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
   console.log("We are connected");
   res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
   res.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(1337, '127.0.0.1');
console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:1337/');

Any ideas why each time I connect to 127.0.0.1:1337 (via chromium) I get 2 responses saying "We are connected"??

There are two requests by the browser. One for url / and another for /favicon.ico. Try to output the request url.

console.log(req.url);
