Hi there, I am currently working on this Node.js class and I seem to be getting a different status code.

Where I am expecting the output 200, I keep seeing 301. I looked up this error and can't seem to fix it. I've reviewed my code and It seems to match perfectly with what I'm seeing in the video.

The Treehouse web site switched to using only https since that course was released so you'll need to use that for your requests instead. See the answers here: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/301-error-with-http-not-https for more.

Change your first line to var https = require("https");

Change var request = https...

You should now get a 200 status code instead of 301.
