You can't.

The request module is for making requests. You can't use it to listen for them.

You could do it with built-in http module . You could find an example of using it on the Node.js homepage .

But it's best to pick one of the HTTP server libraries available in npm.

Or to use one of node.js web application frameworks:

• connect
• express
• koa

Then replace all your console.log statements with calls that put the text in the HTTP response bodies (as per the documentation for whichever module you pick).
