[URL Shortener Project] Everything works, but failing two tests

Hello there, Thanks for bringing this up. I think since, you started the project, it has been updated. I have spotted a mistake in the tests, and am confirming it now: Until this is resolved, I suggest you not use the dns library for any validation. This should allow you to pass the tests.

More details in my final reply:

isOkay to not use dns.lookup for microservice short_url challenge?

Hello there, Just to add: This challenge has recently been altered. Currently, the use of dns.lookup should not be used to achieve the functionality of the 4th user story. dns.lookup is a hint to add as an optional extra, and works by (essentially) pinging a domain, and either returning a response or a bad gateway. The 4th user story only expects the http|https format to be checked. I hope this clarifies.

Hope this helps
