As said in the title I have followed the video but when I try to add a username my code does not act the same way. I have a feeling it has something to do with the line response.write(username - "\n");
in the Get username block //Handle HTTP route GET / username i.e /chalkers function user (request, response) { //if URL == "/....." var username = request.url.replace("/", ""); if (username.length > 0) { response.statusCode = 200; response.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain'); response.write("Header\n"); response.write(username - "\n"); response.end('Footer\n'); } }
On the video the dash symbol in the response.write is blue but on my programme it is yellow so I'm wondering if it is a special character that I just can't make out on the video.
