php - node.js sending POST requests not working -

i'm trying send post request not sending. dont output in console log of browser.

my node server.js running in x.x.x.x:8000 connect client.html. x.x.x.x:8000/client.html

here node.js server.

function handler (req, res) {    var filepath = '.' + req.url;   if (filepath == './')       filepath = './client.html';    var extname = path.extname(filepath);   var contenttype = 'text/html';    switch(extname){     case '.js':             contenttype = 'text/javascript';             break;     case '.css':             contenttype = 'text/css';             break;   }    path.exists(filepath, function (exists){         if (exists){             fs.readfile(filepath, function(error, content){                 if(error){                     res.writehead(500);                     res.end();                 }                 else{                     res.writehead(200, { 'content-type': contenttype });                     res.end(content, 'utf-8');                 }             });         }         else{             res.writehead(404);             res.end();         }   });   } 

javascript code - i'm using ajax call , sending request command.php

 $.post(                  '/var/www/command.php',                  { cmd: "out" },                  function( data ){                   console.log(data);                    }); 

php command.php - writes the named pipe in linux. when done writing echo success.

<?php  if ($_post['cmd'] === 'out') {     $con = fopen("/tmp/myfifo", "w");     fwrite($con, "out\n");     fclose($con);     echo "success";     exit; }  ?> 

why not sending post requests command.php? there way me call command.php , execute commands in it?

because nodejs runs js, not php. also, unlike apache has built-in file handling, in nodejs, need build code or use existing library route urls files.

as question, it's either you:

• setup server execute php. ajax calling nodejs server. route request nodejs php server (apache or whatever), making nodejs act proxy.

• or create code in javascript for nodejs runs similar routine php script, , won't need php or server anymore.
