JavaScript Node.js Basics (2014) Building a Command Line Application Handling Errors in Node

Node.js Basics: Challenge Task 2 is telling me that I have the incorrect answer.

From what I understand (as well as form referencing the node.js API at http://nodes.org/api/http.html), I have the correct answer.

Am I missing something?

"On a new line use the on method to listen for the error event. Pass in a callback function with one parameter of error."

app.js 
var http = require("http");

http.get("http://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json", function(response){
  console.log(response.statusCode);
});

var request = http.get;

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

Your var request should be this.

var request = http.get("http://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json")

Thank you Ian. I find it Interesting though that Challenge Question 1 didn't catch this.
