My second and third test conditions are not passing, even though the code works perfectly as it should; redirects, and returns proper response.

Is this challenge still unsolved?

Yeah… I read through the previous solutions on the forum, and my issue is different.

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!!! :astonished::relieved:

Thanks for the tip lasjorg.
I just added the 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
