Have you verified your casing is correct? Remember a !== A

Yeh. I have tried both, { error: ‘invalid url’ } which is written as a requirement in test (by literally copying and pasting it ), and { error: ‘Invalid URL’ } which is shown in the example.

The problem seems to be that FCC uses ‘ftp:/john-doe.org’ which is supposed to be invalid. Yet, the new URL() function treats it as a valid url and passes it to the dns.lookup() function which checks just the hostname. The new URL() function is probably the culprit.

Added extra layer of checking url (check if url starts with ‘http’ or ‘https’)
