I have what it expects I think, is says remember to create a writeHead and end and have it print out "About\n" which I have, can someone please point out what I am doing wrong? Thank you.
function root(request, response) {
if(request.url == "/") {
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-type': "text/plain"});
response.end("Home\n");
}
}
function contact(request, response) {
if(request.url == "/contact") {
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-type': "text/plain"});
response.end("Contact\n");
}
}
function about(request, response){
if(response.url == "/about"){
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-type': "text/plain"});
response.end("About\n");
}
}
module.exports.root = root;
module.exports.contact = contact;
module.exports.about = about;
var http = require("http");
var routes = require("./routes.js");
http.createServer(function(request, response){
routes.root(request, response);
routes.contact(request, response);
}).listen(3000);

You have
function about(request, response){
if(response.url == "/about"){
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-type': "text/plain"});
response.end("About\n");
}
}
Should be
function about(request, response){
if(request.url == "/about"){
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-type': "text/plain"});
response.end("About\n");
}
}
