Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.
Am failing to pass the URL Shortener Microservice, i have passed all test except the url redirection test

When i check in my dev tools while submitting the test, somehow the freecodecamp test submissions prefix the duplicate route
/api/shorturl//api/shorturl/onfsM4dCWA

Challenge: URL Shortener Microservice

Link to the challenge:

When you visit /api/shorturl/<short_url> , you will be redirected to the original URL

you should return just short_url value
like 7K6QfMk1A

and your final response should look like this
{“original_url”:“https://www.google.com”,“short_url”:“7K6QfMk1A”}

but you are returning
{“original_url”:“https://www.google.com”,“short_url”:"/api/shorturl/7K6QfMk1A"}

so when fcc is testing api the visit this url https://boilerplate-project-urlshortener-1.christopherodhi.repl.co/api/shorturl/api/shorturl/7K6QfMk1A and result in test failure

fix this when you are saving newURL

Thanks man you’re a life saviour
