I'm not getting the username to display after search

Question

node js has updated since the course began

var Profile = require("./profile.js");
var renderer = require("./renderer.js");


function home(request, response) {
  if (request.url === "/") {
  response.statusCode = 200;
  response.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html');
  renderer.view("header", {}, response);
  renderer.view("search", {}, response);
  renderer.view("footer", {}, response);
  response.end();
  }
}



function user(request, response) {
  var username = request.url.replace("/", "");
    //if url == "/..."
  if (username.length > 0 ) {
    response.statusCode = 200;
    response.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html');
    renderer.view("header", {}, response);

    //getJSON from treehouse
    var studentProfile = new Profile(username);
    //on "end"
    studentProfile.on("end", function(profileJSON){
      //show profile
      //Store the values which we need
      var values ={
        avatarUrl: profileJSON.gravatar_url,
        username: profileJSON.profile_name,
        badges: profileJSON.badges.length,
        javascriptPoints: profileJSON.points.JavaScript
      }
      //Simple response
      renderer.view("profile", values, response);
      renderer.view("footer", {}, response);
      response.end();

    });
      //on "error"
    studentProfile.on("error", function(error){
          //show error
      renderer.view("error", {errorMessage: error.message}, response);
      renderer.view("search", {}, response);
      renderer.view("footer", {}, response);
      response.end();
    });





  }
}

module.exports.home = home;
module.exports.user = user;

There's a good chance your problem is not in your router.js file, but in your profile.js file instead. Sometime after this course was created, Treehouse changed their protocol from http to https. You will now need to use both in your profile.js file.

You'll need to make the following changes to your profile.js file:

var https = require("https"); // You'll need to include https in addition to http.

  // When you make your request, you'll need to use https instead of http.
  var request = https.get("https://teamtreehouse.com/" + username + ".json", function(response) {
    // .  .  .
  }

I think that should do it, but let me know if you still run into trouble. Happy coding!
