How robust is nodejs as an http server?

Viewed 1817

If I use the http module of nodejs to make a simple http server, how much validation/checking do I have to do?

Does the module take care of security issues like malformed requests and requests with malicious header values? Does the module ensure that everything follows the http spec, or do I have to do a lot of checking to make sure that my server isn't easy to crash?

Edit: Let's say nodejs doesn't do any real validation, which I'm pretty sure is the case. What do I have to do to make sure my server isn't easily crashable?
