Hi Reza, I think you need to do more homework on this. You need some kind of webserver, which is what you say already have in 8080. If you are using the http module then that's what's gonna take the hits and the routing. That index.js is the one firing up a webserver and doing all the responses. Websites do not work as you explained here. You need a route to make the POST call to receive data, and GET call to send the index.html.
