// Create your own server
var server = http.createServer(function(request, response) {

  response.writeHead(404);
  response.end();
});

server.listen(80, function() {
  console.log((new Date()) + ' Server is listening on port 80');
});

// Attached the server to websocket
var ws = new WebSocket({http: server});

ws
  .on('open', function (socket) {
    // This is called after connection has been established
