I have a simple Meteor app just the basic meteor create test. I want to be able to route traffic to the "/" directory to a template.
I want to be able to route data from a facebook web-hook to a simple js response.
My issue is that when I fire the web-hook URL using postman it returns HTML and not my response.
I've tried many different options for other posts I have read but now have the most basic version to just get it working.
Here is the code I've used
main.html
<head><title>test</title></head><body></body><template name="home"><form class="new-message"><input type="text" name="message" placeholder="Testing"></form></template>main.js:
import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';import { Router } from 'meteor/iron:router';import { Template } from 'meteor/templating';import './main.html';Router.route('/', function () { this.render('home');});Router.route('/webhooks/facebook', function() { var request = this.request; var response = this.response; response.end('webhook was called'); }, { where: 'server' });All other files are exactly how they are created with meteor create.
I'm on Meteor version 1.8.1
I'm using postman to test the web-hook this is the created GET URL:https://------.ngrok.io/webhooks/facebook?hub.verify_token=mytoken&hub.challenge=1234567&hub.mode=subscribe
code omitted to keep ngrok from getting slammed.
This is the response I'm getting:

I'm sure I'm missing something simple.
Usually I wait till I have exhausted all other options before posting here. And I'm sure I have tried every other example given here on Stack Overflow.
My desired result is simple to just return a HTTP response "webhook was called" instead of the HTML garbage.
