Loading basic HTML in Node.js

I just found one way using the fs library. I’m not certain if it’s the cleanest though.

var http = require('http'),
    fs = require('fs');


fs.readFile('./index.html', function (err, html) {
    if (err) {
        throw err; 
    }       
    http.createServer(function(request, response) {  
        response.writeHeader(200, {"Content-Type": "text/html"});  
        response.write(html);  
        response.end();  
    }).listen(8000);
});

The basic concept is just raw file reading and dumping the contents. Still open to cleaner options, though!
