Problem with URL Shortener (APIs and Microservices Projects)

at the /api/shorturl/new endpoint i have

return res.json({
        "original_url" : url,
        "short_url" : id
      });

and i got this json returned
urlshort

  • The noHTTPSurl variable is not only a domain name

Hope this clarifies
