A Freecode camp project for the backend certification

User Story

1. I can POST to [project_url]/api/shorturl/new and i will receive a shortened URL in the JSON response like {original_url: "www.google.com", "short_url":1}

2. If i pass an invalid URL that doesn't follow the http(s)://www.example.com(/more/routes) format,the JSON response will contain an error like {error: "invalid URL"} HINT: to be sure that the submitted url points to a valid site you can use the function dns.lookup(host, cb) from the dns core module.

3. When i visit the shortened URL, it will redirect me to my original link.
