My best guess is that this is a bug in node-static's Windows support?

[Zarel]

Looking further, it seems like either you're missing a subdependency, or you have the wrong version of mime.

Try deleting node_modules and trying again?

(Feel free to reopen if that doesn't work)

@Zarel changing mime.lookup to mime.getType in the code worked so thanks anywayws, also restarting my computer also fixed it

[Zarel]

That definitely means you have the wrong version of mime. Are you using a third party npm implementation? The default one should install mime 1, not mime 2...

i just did npm install i belive npm is installing the lastest version but after i restarted my pc it stopped showing that error so i think its a web error or something

[Zarel]

Let's just chalk it up to a one-time npm glitch.

Are you using c9? I've expirienced this in the past trying to connect (link didnt redirect to psim.us) its easily fixed by adding -80.psim.us to the normal link (if it dosent already have it)

[Morfent]

What versions of node, npm, node-static, and mime are installed if this happens for you, out of curiosity?

The only reason that prevents the crash is because using the psim.us URL skips having to get index.html from the server to get redirected. Any requests to the server outside of /showdown/* should still crash

lookup() renamed to getType() in mime version 2. https://www.npmjs.com/package/mime
