15,758 Points502 Bad Gateway, starting with the changes with request around the 7:00 mark
Here's my router.js file
var Profile = require("./profile.js");
var renderer = require("./renderer.js");
var commonHeaders = {"Content-Type": "text/html"};
// Handle HTTP route GET / and POST / i.e. Home
function home(request, response){
// if url == "/" && GET
if(request.url === "/"){
if(request.method.toLowerCase() === ""){
//show search
response.writeHead(200, commonHeaders);
renderer.view("header", {}, response);
renderer.view("search", {}, response);
renderer.view("footer", {}, response);
response.end();
} else{
// if url == "/" && POST
// get the post data from body
request.on("data", function(postBody) {
var body = "" + postBody;
console.log(postBody.toString());
});
// extract the username
// redirect to /:username
}
}
}
// Handle HTTP route GET /:username i.e. /chalkers or /robheath
function user(request, response) {
// if url == "/...."
var username = request.url.replace("/", "");
if(username.length > 0){
response.writeHead(200, commonHeaders);
renderer.view("header", {}, response);
// get json from Treehouse
var studentProfile = new Profile(username);
// on "end"
studentProfile.on("end", function(profileJSON){
// show profile
// Store the values which we need
var values = {
avatarUrl: profileJSON.gravatar_url,
username: profileJSON.profile_name,
badges: profileJSON.badges.length,
javascriptPoints: profileJSON.points.JavaScript
}
// Simple response
renderer.view("profile", values, response);
renderer.view("footer", {}, response);
response.end();
});
// on "error"
studentProfile.on("error", function(error){
// show error
renderer.view("error", {errorMessage: error.message}, response);
renderer.view("search", {}, response);
renderer.view("footer", {}, response);
response.end();
});
}

15,758 PointsRewatched the video with a fine-toothed comb and found I had missed. On line 10, I had left off "get"
EDIT: Nope! Still get the 502 error after the additions at the 7:00 mark.

Courses Plus Student 8,099 Pointsi was having the same issue i re-wrote my code and noticed my closing "{}" braces were over-lapping with the function and if statement.
//Handle HTTP route GET / and POST / i.e. Home
function home(request, response) {
//if url == "/" && GET
if(request.url === "/") {
if (request.method =="GET"){
//show search
response.writeHead(200, commonHeaders);
renderer.view("header", {}, response);
renderer.view("search", {}, response);
renderer.view("footer", {}, response);
response.end();
}else {
request.on("data",(postBody)=>{
console.log(postBody.toString());
});
}
}}
i know it's a old post but sometimes stuff just keeps bugging you lol. hope this helps you and puts you at ease.

6,647 PointsI received 502 bad request as well. Changed "function(postBody)" to "(postBody) =>". Also, request.method == "GET" and it worked.
