Node.js tutorial, Http Server handling errors

I am following node.js tutorials on learnyounode, the "HTTP CLIENT" section. The code that is proposed as solution is:

var http = require('http')

http.get(process.argv[2], function (response) {
  response.setEncoding('utf8')
  response.on('data', console.log)
  response.on('error', console.error)
})

but executing this with node gives me 

events.js:72
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

my working solution is this one:

var http = require('http')

http.get(process.argv[2], function (response) {
  response.setEncoding('utf8');
  response.on('data', console.log);     
}).on('error', console.error);

that means that the Object response is not a http.ClientRequest ?

Yep, response is http.ServerResponse while request is http.ClientRequest. As the docs say, error event is emitted on request object, not response one.
