Can you post your code?

APP.JS

//Problem: We need a simple way to look at a users badge count //and JavaScript point from a web browser //Solution: Use Node.js to perform the profile look ups and //serve our template via HTTP

//1. Create a web server

var http = require('http'); http.createServer(function(request, response) { res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'}); res.end('Hello World\n'); }).listen(3000); console.log('Server running at http://<workspace-url>');

//2. Handle HTTP route GET / and POST / i.e. Home //if the url == '/' && GET //show search //if url == '/' && POST //redirect to /:username

//3. Handle HTTP route GET / :username i.e. /chalkers //if url == '/....' //get json from Treehouse //on 'end' //showprofile //on 'error' //show error

//4. function that handles the reading of files and merge in value // read from file and get a string //merge values in to string

EXAMPLE_PROFILE.JS

var Profile = require("./profile.js");

var studentProfile = new Profile("chalkers");

/**

• When the JSON body is fully recieved the
• the "end" event is triggered and the full body
• is given to the handler or callback **/ studentProfile.on("end", console.dir);

/**

• If a parsing, network or HTTP error occurs an
• error object is passed in to the handler or callback **/ studentProfile.on("error", console.error);

PROFILE.JS

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

/**

• An EventEmitter to get a Treehouse students profile.
• @param username

• @constructor */ function Profile(username) {

  EventEmitter.call(this);

  profileEmitter = this;

  //Connect to the API URL (https://teamtreehouse.com/username.json) var request = http.get("http://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] + ")"));
  }
  
  //Read the data
  response.on('data', function (chunk) {
      body += chunk;
      profileEmitter.emit("data", chunk);
  });
  
  response.on('end', function () {
      if(response.statusCode === 200) {
          try {
              //Parse the data
              var profile = JSON.parse(body);
              profileEmitter.emit("end", profile);
          } catch (error) {
              profileEmitter.emit("error", error);
          }
      }
  }).on("error", function(error){
      profileEmitter.emit("error", error);
  });
  

  }); }

util.inherits( Profile, EventEmitter );

module.exports = Profile;

Out of curiosity, what happens when you try changing it to use https instead of http?

From this:

http.get("http://teamtreehouse.com/" + username + ".json", function(response)

To this:

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

You may also have to change this:

var http = require('http'); 

To this:

var http = require('https'); 

Interested to know if any of this helps!

that seemed to have fixed the issue...
