18,813 PointsI did it this way without querystring what do you think?
request.on("data", function(postBody) {
//extract the username
var username = postBody.toString().replace("username=","");
console.log(username);
//redirect to the username
request.url = "/"+username;
user(request,response);

querystring.parse('foo=bar&baz=qux&baz=quux&corge')
// returns
{ foo: 'bar', baz: ['qux', 'quux'], corge: '' }
// Suppose gbkDecodeURIComponent function already exists,
// it can decode `gbk` encoding string
querystring.parse('w=%D6%D0%CE%C4&foo=bar', null, null,
{ decodeURIComponent: gbkDecodeURIComponent })
// returns
{ w: 'δΈζ', foo: 'bar' }
Amazingly enough. https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buffer_buf_tostring_encoding_start_end
the international encoding can be parsed because querystring is a deserializer that can parse other encoding entypes besides utf-8. Nice huh!!!
