GM Fuster 3b056aa7b4 chore(replit): use correct brand name across codebase (#41941)
* replace repl.it with replit.com in the English version

Replace repl.it to replit.com in the English version.  Chinese and Spanish versions have the same issue.

* Updated the repl.it to replit.com or Replit

I changed the text from replit.com to Replit and added the changes to the files outside the curriculum folder.

* Forgot removing one .com.

There was on Replit.com that I missed when I reviewed the files.

* Resolve conflicts

I got an unable to auto merge so resolving conflicts and trying again.

--description--

As a reminder, this project is being built upon the following starter project on Replit, or cloned from GitHub.

Hackers can exploit known vulnerabilities in Express/Node if they see that your site is powered by Express. X-Powered-By: Express is sent in every request coming from Express by default. Use the helmet.hidePoweredBy() middleware to remove the X-Powered-By header.

--hints--

helmet.hidePoweredBy() middleware should be mounted correctly

(getUserInput) =>
  $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/app-info').then(
    (data) => {
      assert.include(data.appStack, 'hidePoweredBy');
      assert.notEqual(data.headers['x-powered-by'], 'Express');
    },
    (xhr) => {
      throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
    }
  );
