Getting a 301 error

I have been getting a 301 error while doing the Node.js Basics. Happening on both my own editor and terminal as well as the workspace. I can't image you actually moved anything or the "chalkers"; however, I'm out of ideas. What else could be happening?

I had the same issue, the way I solved it was using https instead of http.

var https = require("https");

var request= https.get("https://teamtreehouse.com/"+username+".json",function(response)

You need to change the http's in your program to https's should clear up the problem. It is because of a redirect that you are getting the 301 error.
