title: Failed to execute 'send' on 'XMLHttpRequest' Syncronous
body: <p>I'm trying to connect to google with a simple get request through JS and it seems to always be giving me the same error.</p>
  
  <p>"Failed to execute 'send' on 'XMLHttpRequest': Failed to load '<a href="http://google.com" rel="nofollow">http://google.com</a>'."</p>
  
  <p>Any clue why this would be happening? Relevant code is below.</p>
  
  <pre><code>        var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
          xmlHttp.open("GET", "http://google.com", false);
          try {
              xmlHttp.send();
          } catch (err) {
              alert("EXCEPTION: " + err.message);
          }
          alert("here's the result of the get: " + xmlHttp.responseText);
  </code></pre>
