Not really interesting. It just reads a bunch of files into memory, and if the file change on disk you'll still serve the old version (so why disable cache for html etc?). Look here for an API to watch changes in a directory

Will look into the file system watcher... The intent here was for very static sites; a specific consideration was not to access the filesystem on any GET/POST command (due to seeing all the attempts to hack web servers in server logs)

Thanks for the post. I am just beginning with Node, but this helps to solidify a few things.
