What are the invalid URL case for the URL shortener project

Tell us what’s happening:
I don’t understand what are the test cases for the last item in Back End Development:

If you pass an invalid URL that doesn’t follow the valid http://www.example.com format, the JSON response will contain `{ error: ‘invalid url’ }

I found a regexp for detecting invalid URLs, and it doesn’t work here, so I’m wondering which example is making it fail.

Thank you in advance for your help and happy coding

Hello!

Your code is correct, it’s just that you should return a 200 instead of the 400.
