Node-static example

I've been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out what's wrong with this code. I copied it directly from the node-static github repository example, but it doesn't seem to work. The only modification that I made was to the path of the public files (previously was './public'). In my public folder I have an index.html, but when I hit http://localhost:8080/index.html I get nothing.

var static = require('node-static');

//
// Create a node-static server instance to serve the './public' folder
//
var file = new(static.Server)('C:\Projects\node\public');

require('http').createServer(function (request, response) {
    request.addListener('end', function () {
        //
        // Serve files!
        //
        file.serve(request, response);
    });
}).listen(8080);

If it matters, I'm running Node.js on Windows 7 64 bit.

Edit:

I threw in some console.log statements and it makes it into the server handler, but not into the listener handler. Could this have something to do with the 'end' event?

I removed the request.addListener('end', ...) function:

require('http').createServer(function (request, response) {

    //
    // Serve files!
    //
    file.serve(request, response);

}).listen(8080);

Now it works fine.
