AJAX Challenge Task to use .open() not working and I don't know why?

So, I am pretty sure I am right, unless I am not understanding the question? Its telling me I am wrong and that I need to use open().

app.js 
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.onreadystatechange = function () {
  if (request.readyState === 4) {
    document.getElementById("footer").innerHTML = request.responseText;
  }
  request.open("GET", "footer.html");
};
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>AJAX with JavaScript</title>
  <script src="app.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="main">
    <h1>AJAX!</h1>
  </div>
  <div id="footer"></div>
</body>
</html>
