The second part of stage 1/4 of this challenge asks you to assign the variable http to the require statement. You have the require statement correct, now just set a new variable called http and make it equal to the require statement.

I will also just drop this in as well just in case you missed it in the teachers notes to the https://teamtreehouse.com/library/nodejs-basics/building-a-command-line-application/making-a-get-request-with-http video.

"On October 20th 2015, we upgraded our website to only use HTTPS rather than just HTTP. This mean more security for anyone using our site.

This does include some breaking changes to our code. But it's simple to fix.

Replace any references to http to https. For example:

var https = require("https");

Modify any links from "http://teamtreehouse.com/" to "https://teamtreehouse.com/"."
