Creating a Web Server with Node Core (3) - Testing POST eval not working

mfnodes

This code snippet returns error:
node -e "ht‌tp.request('ht‌tp://localhost:3000', {method: 'POST'}, (res) => res.pipe(process.stdout)).end()"

PS C:\LFW212\labs\ch-3\http-web-server> node -e "ht‌tp.request('ht‌tp://
localhost:3000', {method: 'POST'}, (res) => res.pipe(process.stdout)).end()"
ht‌tp.request('ht‌tp://localhost:3000', {method: 'POST'}, (res) => res.p
ipe(process.stdout)).end()

I can test with separate file "nonget.js" containing:

const http = require('http')

http.request('http://localhost:3000/', { method: 'POST' }, (res) => res.pipe(process.stdout)).end()

What am I doing wrong in the CLI?

@mfnodes there's a hidden character between the the two t's of http - it may have come from copy pasting from the learning platform @fcioanca can we please make sure that copy-pasting code doesn't insert hidden characters anywhere (starting with this case?)

@xdxmxc Yes that would be a good idea.

Just got stuck on this for a while, ending up choosing curl instead. Anything to keep the learning process moving forward without unnecessary interruptions is super!
