Error getting profile

Error: There was an error getting the profile for chalkers. (Moved Permanently)

Seems that it redirects to https for getting the JSON for profile information.

To fix this bug in my workspace I had to require both the http and https modules and change everything in profile.js to https except for http.STATUS_CODES:

var EventEmitter = require("events").EventEmitter;
var http = require("http");
var https = require("https");
var util = require("util");

[...]

    //Connect to the API URL (https://teamtreehouse.com/username.json)
    var request = https.get("https://teamtreehouse.com/" + username + ".json", function(response) {
        var body = "";

        if (response.statusCode !== 200) {
            request.abort();
            //Status Code Error
            profileEmitter.emit("error", new Error("There was an error getting the profile for " + username + ". (" + http.STATUS_CODES[response.statusCode] + ")"));
        }

Francis! Treehouse implemented HTTPS on their website! So you must change your http request and ajax calls to https in order for them to work properly :)! Hope it helps!

Just to add: I was using the 8080 port to listen to -> didn't work :)

Changed it to 3000 and booyah it worked...
