Invalid country

Error message

Invalid country

What it means

Thrown by the fashionnetwork headline route when the `country` path parameter (default 'ww') fails isValidHost. The value is interpolated into `https://${country}.fashionnetwork.com`, so it must be a single safe DNS label.

Solutions

  1. Use a valid fashionnetwork country label (e.g. 'ww', 'fr', 'cn', 'us').
  2. Omit the country segment to use the 'ww' default.
  3. Avoid dots, slashes, and protocols in the value.

Example fix

// before
/fashionnetwork/headline/fr.fashionnetwork.com
// after
/fashionnetwork/headline/fr
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

import { isValidHost } from '@/utils/valid-host';
const country = params.country ?? 'ww';
if (!isValidHost(country)) throw new Error('Invalid country');

Type guard

const isSafeCountry = (v: unknown): boolean =>
  typeof v === 'string' && /^[a-z0-9-]+$/i.test(v) && !v.includes('.');

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Request to /fashionnetwork/headline/:country with a country containing dots, slashes, protocol characters, or other invalid host characters.

Common situations: Typo; passing 'fr.fashionnetwork.com' instead of 'fr'; attempting traversal.
