406 error occured with https

Hi there~ I'm also getting 406 error for status code though "Allow everyone to see your profile" is CHECKED and "https" is used. Would you let me know what I should do?

I was succesfull today in completing this challange using the follwoing code :

//problem : we need a simple way to look at a users badge count and JS points:

// use node js to connect to treehouse api to get profile information to print out. var https = require("https"); var username = 'leanrasmussen';

function printMessage(username, badgeCount, points){ var message = username + ' has ' + badgeCount + ' total badge(s) and ' + points + ' many points. WOW that is really amazing.' console.log(message); }

//connect to the APi url https://teamtreehouse.com/leanrasmussen.json

var request = https.get('https://teamtreehouse.com/' + username + '.json', function(responese){ console.dir(responese)

}); //read the data //parse the data //print the data out.
