ajax call to mapped URL

I am trying to make an AJAX call to a localhost URL that I am hosting via java. The URL currently only holds a String.

But when I try to call it from my javascript, I don't get any return value. The code/URL doesn't even work.

Javascript code(For website):

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

xhr.onload = function() {
if(true){
    alert('hello!');
    document.getElementById('newgame').innerHTML = xhr.responseText;

}
};

xhr.open('GET', 'localhost:8080/highscore', true);
xhr.send(null);`

JAVA class code(currently running): 

@RestController
public class Server {



    @RequestMapping("/highscore")
    public String highScore() {

        return "test";


    }

}

Why you don't using jQuery instead, as below

<html>

<head>
<script   src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
req_url = "http://localhost:8080/highscore";
    $.ajax({
        type:"post",
        url:req_url,
        success:function(data){
            alert('hello!');
            document.getElementById('newgame').innerHTML = data;
        }
    });
});
</script>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

Replace localhost:8080/highscore by http://localhost:8080/highscore
