The staff has received some questions on Programming Assignment 1. The assignment page originally stated that we will grade your back-end API with POST /signup?username=hi&password=12345678. What we really meant was that username and password will be sent as additional data, not on the url itself. However the statement seems to have made some of you misunderstand that data parameters must be passed through the url (it's possible, though not recommended).
We have addressed this confusion by clarifying the sentences on the assignment page, as well as an additional paragraph regarding the actual grading process. Please take a look.
