Did the webview url change somewhere between days 82 and 83?

Hi @MichaelDaburn !
What are the repl names for the 2 days? It might be a mistake when creating the repls for the course.

Does the second on have a ! or something what would have been converted on the end by chance?

I’ve seen that I must have entered it by mistake in a return redirect which I’ve correct4d and restarted the server. The thing is, the incorrect one still works for me!

That’s intentional, and will stay like that unless you delete the Repl.

Indeed, here’s an example of ways this works:

  1. Say you have a web Repl called My cool project, it’ll have a webview at https://my-cool-project--USERNAME.repl.co (And a . one for older accounts)
  2. You rename the project to cool. Now it has the old URL and https://cool--USERNAME.repl.co (Again, dotted too for old accounts)
  3. You can rename as many times as you want, and all the “old” URLs will still point to the same project!
