Official WHAT'S IN QUERY solution doesn't work

[occult]

The official solution is:

    var express = require('express')
    var app = express()

    app.get('/search', function(req, res){
      var query = req.query
      res.send(query)
    })

    app.listen(process.argv[2])

but it doesn't work.

My solution was:

var express = require('express');
var app = express();

app.get('/search', function (req, res) {
  var query = req.query;
  delete query.__proto__;
  res.send(JSON.stringify(query));
});

app.listen(process.argv[2]);

I don't know if it's a good solution, but it worked.

The official solution worked fine for me. Did you completely paste it to see for yourself?

delete query.__proto__; is the only difference?

The official solution didn't work for me neither.

Here's what I got with the Official Solution:

             ACTUAL                                 EXPECTED                
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

   "{"                                 !=    "{\"results\":\"recent\",\"type\":\"quote\",\"page\":\"10\"}"
   "  \"type\": \"quote\","            !=                                       
   "  \"page\": \"10\","               !=                                       
   "  \"__proto__\": {}"               !=                                       
   "}"                                 !=

I'm guessing it has something to do with my express version. I'm using 3.2.6 at the moment. Deleting proto and using JSON.stringify worked like a charm!
