`require('http')` import module to work with `http` protocol	`http.createServer` creates HTTP server
`req.on(` handle specific http event	`on('data'` handle data receiving with specified callback
`data += chunk` collect all post data chunks into single `data` variable	`on('end'` handle event when request has finished
`server.listen` launch server on a given port and hostname	`qs.parse` parse given string as url encoded variables
`let post` will contain parsed variables

Usage example

nohup node server.js &
curl http://127.0.0.1:82/ -d "name=joe&age=1"

output

[Object: null prototype] { name: 'joe', age: '1' }
