My second and third test conditions are not passing, even though the code works perfectly as it should; redirects, and returns proper response.
You can check my code below
require('dotenv').config();
const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const dns = require('dns');
const cors = require('cors');
const app = express();
// Basic Configuration
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
// Mount body-parser middleware
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(cors());
app.use('/public', express.static(`${process.cwd()}/public`));
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(process.cwd() + '/views/index.html');
});

Is this challenge still unsolved?
Yeah… I read through the previous solutions on the forum, and my issue is different.
Even though it’s working as expected
Your URL validation isn’t working. Submit and look at the response in the browser dev tools (network tab).
The dns method only takes a hostname. You can use the URL constructor to get it.
new URL(url).hostname
It workeddd!!!
Thanks for the tip lasjorg.const hostname = new URL(url).hostname line like you said and passed it to the dns method instead of the hostname I got by splitting the url with the / seperator
