How to complete the status code challenges. Numbers 25, 26, 27, 28 which trigger the status codes 405, 500, 501 and 204.

These challenges were all so similar and fast to complete that we cover the solutions for them all together. They are all variants on existing requests and all use the same endpoint `/heartbeat`

Issue a DELETE request on the `/heartbeat` end point and receive 405 (Method Not Allowed)

Issue a PATCH request on the `/heartbeat` end point and receive 500 (internal server error)

Issue a TRACE request on the `/heartbeat` end point and receive 501 (Not Implemented)

– Trace is not a common verb so some tools may not implement it, in Insomnia you need to use the `Custom Method` to send it.

Issue a GET request on the `/heartbeat` end point and receive 204 when server is running

– The request should have an `X-CHALLENGER` header to track challenge completion
