Stuck on routes

It is saying that I need to call "writeHead" and "end" to response. I feel like I am but maybe I am missing something

routes.js
function root(request, response) {
    if(request.url == "/") {
        response.writeHead(200, {'Content-type': "text/plain"});
        response.end("Home\n");
    }
}

function contact(request, response) {
    if(request.url == "/contact") {
        response.writeHead(200, {'Content-type': "text/plain"});
        response.end("Contact\n");
    }
}

function about(request, response) {
    if(request.url == "/contact") {
        response.writeHead(200, {'Content-type': "text/plain"});
        response.end("About\n");
    }
}

module.exports.root = root;
module.exports.contact = contact;
module.exports.about = about;
index.js
var http = require("http");
var routes = require("./routes.js");

http.createServer(function(request, response){
    routes.root(request, response);
    routes.contact(request, response);
    routes.about(request, response);
}).listen(3000);

Hi Justin,

Maybe it was a copy/paste error but you have 'contact' in your if condition instead of 'about'

if(request.url == "/contact") { // should be about
