Response BODY not found, 404

I tried getting the BODY + chunk piece back. What is funny is that I think that the API for teamtreehouse is not letting me access my username. I switched my username to chalkers and it worked. But when I put back in my username 'daniwao' it didn't work. I know that this is my username because I then tried teamtreehouse.com/daniwao.json and it worked.

Can someone help me out with this question. Here's my code below. 

var http = require("http");
var username = "daniwao";

function printMessage(username, badgeCount, points){
    var message = username + " has " + badgeCount + " total badges and " + points + " points in Javascript";
    console.log(message);
}

var request = http.get("http://teamtreehouse.com/" + username + ".json", function(response){
    var body = "";
    console.log(response.statusCode); 
    response.on('data', function(chunk) {
     body += chunk;
    console.log('BODY: ' + chunk)
  });

  response.on('end', function(){
    var profile = JSON.parse(body);
    console.dir(profile);
  })
});

request.on("error", function(e){ 
    console.error(e.message);
})

Andrew Chalkley , I'd really appreciate if you could take a look at this interesting issue I'm having. I can use your username and I've tested it out with other usernames, just by guessing by looking at the Forum, but I can't use my username. Is there a timeout issue?

Your privacy settings prevent your profile from being visible to the public. So if you are logged in you can see it. Log out and go to teamtreehouse.com/daniwao.json and see it's not found :)
