17,437 PointsRedirect not working
When I click on search for chalkers the page goes to a blank gray screen. Here is the code for that section.
else {
//if url == "/" && POST
//get the post data from body
request.on('data', function(postBody){
//extract the username
var query = querystring.parse(postBody.toString());
//redirect to /:username
response.writeHead(303, {'Location': '/' + query.username });
response.end();
});
}

17,437 PointsThanks Andrew Chalkley! When you have the opportunity can you explain why it worked when I would manually type the username at the end of the url and why it wouldn't work if i entered it into the search field. Just trying to understand how that extra dot messed up the search and not the manual entry. Thanks again!
