NodeJS HTTP Server and Console.log

Question

I have a simple HTTP server

require('http').createServer(function(req, res) {
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
    res.end('Hello World!');

    console.log('Got a request');   
}).listen(4000);

However, when I run it 'Got a request' is written 3 times in the console. Any idea why?

Check the network tab in your browsers console, you should see every request between the client and the server. Like Sachacr said one would be favicon — tmcgoo

It's maybe your browser who try to get your favicon

You can confirm this by using : console.log('Got a request : ' + req.url);
