Hit tcp server with browser GET request

Say I have a tcp server using node.js net package:

 const s = net.createServer(conn => {});

 s.listen(6969, '0.0.0.0', () => {

 });

is there a way to hit the server using an HTTP GET request somehow? Perhaps there is a way for an http server to use the same port in the same process?

For HTTP connections use telnet to connect to the port - and send the HTTP commands

For HTTPS connections use openssl s_client
