Challenge Task: Node Basics

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I am inputting dataChunk as the argument and then concatenating it to the responseBody.

var http = require("http"); var request = http.get("http://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json", function(response){ var responseBody = "";

response.on("data", function(dataChunk) {

});

//Here is my code below.// response.on("", function(dataChunk){ responseBody += dataChunk; });

});

request.on("error", function(error){ console.error(error.message); });

app.js 
var http = require("http");
var request = http.get("http://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json", function(response){
    var responseBody = "";

    response.on("data", function(dataChunk) {

    });

    response.on("", function(dataChunk){
      responseBody += dataChunk;
    });

});

request.on("error", function(error){
    console.error(error.message);
});

Hi daniwao,

You have the correct code, just in the wrong place. You need to add that line here:

response.on("data", function(dataChunk) {

    });
