I find it a much too generic name, regardless of upstream offering a
command-line interface for it.  Only if a widely used command-line tool
where lots of scripts in the wild would fail to work should this generic
name _maybe_ be preserved.

Please package it as node-http-server - and if including the
command-line interface in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin then please rename that
as well (but if just a sample demo script not of production quality then
instead install it only below /usr/share/doc/node-http-server/examples).
