parse api - training: xhr.status not working

HTTP Status Codes lesson not following through after correct answer is placed.

The right answer is var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.open(“GET”, “http://www.codecademy.com/doesnt_exist“, false); xhr.send(); // Add your code below! console.log(xhr.status);

…but the error keeps coming up: Oops, try again! Did you console.log(xhr.status)? …and I can’t continue with the lessons.

I have done some additional research and you need to change the line stating xhr.open(“GET”, “http://www.codecademy.com/doesnt_exist“, false); to this new line: xhr.open(“GET”, “http://www.codecademy.com/doesntexist2“, false);

The problem is that someone has created account with that url, so you will have response… and it will not show 404. try to open http://www.codecademy.com/doesnt_exist someone made a joke:)) fix to that, change any letter in url to make sure that it does not exist…
