How to keep a continuous web access while using require("http").createServer

function pageRequest(req, res) {
  res.writeHead(200);
  res.end("Hello World");
}
require("http").createServer(pageRequest).listen(8080); // port 8080

The code like this, when the borad work, it's ok for visiting the pages which the server supply at the very first time. But when I jump for the other websites and visit back via return history of browser, the server stop. I can't visit the server website again. I have to invoke load() for restart then I access the server again.

Hi, @user109783

it sounds like this is what you are after:

Espruino WebServer Module

Other ideas:

HTTP File Server
WiFi Websocket Server

'How to Keep web server working for long time?'

After a bit of digging, this page seems to be the origin of the snippet above: > http://www.espruino.com/Internet

As page requests are 'stateless' I now believe the initial post is after attempting to keep the connection alive indefinetly.

Good overview,

Is this the task that is being attempted?

or

Is a very large char count page request being made and not all of the page content is returned?

The page I load is very simple and little cotent, I just press the F5 for refreshing the website, but somehow the server reject for connecting.

And I invoked WIZnet.getStatus(), it was still working.

{
  state: "online",
  id: "W5500",
  phylink: "up",
  phypowmode: "normal",
  by: 0, mode: 1, speed: 100, duplex: 0 }

But when I visit website by http://ip , the browser reject like this: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

When I first time visited the device like this, http://192.168.1.111
Ok,no matter how I pressed the F5 button for refreshing, the connection was ok.
But when I write a new website like: www.google.com and then press the back history for visiting the http://192.168.1.111 again, it failed, the browser rejected for visiting, maybe the device did.
