A common way people handle requests like this in the Node world is to use 
the express <https://github.com/visionmedia/express> framework to handle 
routing according to a certain URL/path scheme and parse query strings / 
request bodies.

To handle a path 
like 
/core/health/clinicalAssessments/12345_678_9999.xml?startDate=2011-06-01&endDate=2012-12-01
 you 
would have something like:

    var app = require('express')();
    
    app.get('/core/health/clinicalAssessments/:filename', function(req,res) 
{
      var filename = req.params.filename; //this would be 
"12345_678_9999.xml"
      var startDate = req.query.startDate; //this would be "2011-06-01"
      var endDate = req.query.endDate; //this would be "2012-12-01"
      
      // This is where you'd do the meat of your processing - getting 
records,
      // hitting the database, rendering, etc. At some point down a line of
      // async calls, you'd eventually come to a point where you're ready to
      // send a response.
      
      // You can create an HTML string using whatever technique you want.
      // You can also set up a templating engine and use res.render()
      res.send(200,"the operation is successful");
    });

    app.listen(8080);

documentation<http://expressjs.com/api.html>
