What I am interested in doing is to parse a URL, which is *http://localhost:port_number/lens/v1/ping*, that is sent from a browser. I would like to compare the pathname of the URL with "*/lens/v1/ping*" (I hope that I could use *==* to compare). If the comparison result is true, I am going to return Status 200 as the response to the browser window.. Somehow, I cannot write that URL parsing statement correctly. I keep getting TypeError.
