Error message

Invalid language

What it means

The route /pornhub/pornstar/:username accepts a :language path segment that becomes the subdomain of pornhub.com (e.g. `www`, `cn`). `isValidHost(language)` checks the value against an allowlist of recognized Pornhub locale subdomains; when it returns false the handler rejects the request before any network call. The throw is a fast-fail guard so an arbitrary host string is never concatenated into the outbound URL.

Solutions

1. Use one of the documented Pornhub subdomain language codes, most commonly `www` (default), `cn`, `jp`, `fr`, `de`, etc. — match the subdomain that appears on pornhub.com for the desired locale.
2. Omit the language segment entirely so it defaults to `'www'` as defined in the destructure: `const { language = 'www', ... } = ctx.req.param()`.
3. Verify the value with `isValidHost` (imported from `@/utils/valid-host`) client-side before submitting the route.

Example fix

// before
/rsshub/pornhub/pornstar/somename/eng
// after
/rsshub/pornhub/pornstar/somename/www

import isValidHost from '@/utils/valid-host';
const language = ctx.req.param('language') ?? 'www';
if (!isValidHost(language)) {
    // surface a friendly message listing valid subdomains instead of throwing late
    return ctx.body(`Unsupported language '${language}'. Use a known Pornhub subdomain.`, 400);
}

const isPornhubLocale = (v: string): boolean => typeof v === 'string' && /^[a-z]{2,6}$/.test(v) && isValidHost(v);

When it happens

Trigger: Issuing a request like /pornhub/pornstar/somename/zz where `zz` is not a valid Pornhub subdomain (typos, unknown locale codes, or injection attempts). The check fires immediately after `ctx.req.param()` extracts `language`, before `got(link)` is called.

Common situations: User mistypes the language segment (e.g. `ww` instead of `www`), copies a route example with an unsupported locale, or passes a value like `english` instead of the expected subdomain token.
