title: How to debug a basic node.js application (not http) on windows
body: <p>I know how to debug http applications using node-inspector and iisnode. But can I use node-inspector to debug a <em>non http</em> node application, on windows?</p>
  
  <p>I tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code> node debug test.js
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It says:</p>
  
  <pre><code>debugger listening on port 5858
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But opening <code>http://localhost:5858/</code> in Chrome does not do anything.</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>BTW: running <code>node debug test.js</code> does start the command-line debugger which works. But it's nothing like node-inspector.</p>
