Error not thrown even in error state

Hi, I'm following along to the video in my own workspace and for some reason, even after changing the request url to

https://wwwteamtreehouse.com

with a missing "." after the subdomain, the request still runs. I'm on a Linux bash terminal and after typing

node app.js

it just jumps to a blank line. I wonder why?

Matthew Conrad hey did you find the solution how do you fix it? I have the same issue.. It doesn't show error message when put this 

request.on('error', err => console.error(err.message));
