Using postman, when attempting to POST for user registration with the endpoint
"http://localhost:3000/register?name=USER1&<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="61f4fcf0f8fdac8484948795c0948494829798fdfcc7faf6f4">[email protected]</a>&password=pass1"Errors: Postman displays Cannot POST /register. Apart from that, no errors are observed and the server operates fine on port 3000.
