404 Errors can be caused by the security settings on your Treehouse account

If, like me, the 'Allow everyone to see your profile' box is UNCHECKED. The json file is not accessible, (I believe). When I used https.get('https://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json', function(response){ instead of my profile's JSON file, it worked.

I hope this helps :-)

Hi, I am getting 406 for status code. What is it? I have changed http to https and the account is public.

Okay, it was simply the spelling mistake in URL. Because it wasn't 404, I wondered what 406 is.
