Node-telegram-bot-api: Sending documents by HTTP URL returns 400 Bad Request (Part Two)

[pedrofracassi]

Expected Behavior

I'm trying to send GIFs by HTTP URL using the .sendDocument method.

Actual Behavior

Unhandled rejection Error: ETELEGRAM: 400 Bad Request: there is no document in the request

Steps to reproduce the Behavior

Add this code to your bot:

bot.onText(/\/link (.+)/, (msg, match) => {
  const chatId = msg.chat.id;
  const resp = match[1];
  bot.sendDocument(chatId, resp);
});

And then send these commands to it:

/link https://giant.gfycat.com/GoldenEquatorialAfricanjacana.gif
/link https://zippy.gfycat.com/GoldenEquatorialAfricanjacana.webm
/link http://i.imgur.com/OKRRfmN.mp4

Basically any .gif, .mp4 or .webm that I've tried didn't work.

I am getting a different error:

ETELEGRAM: 400 Bad Request: failed to get HTTP URL content

PS: http://i.imgur.com/OKRRfmN.mp4 seems okay...

[pedrofracassi]

That's surely strange.

[almeynman]

I too experience this... works perfoectly with getUpdates() on localhost, however throws on heroku

[GochoMugo]

Mind sharing the URLs that are failing?

[almeynman]

I will create a separate issue, I have a bit different problem

I had exactly same problem and couldn't upload an image (as sticker), http://.../blabla.webp. Not via telegram app, not via telegram bot API. To solve the issue I went to @webpagebot and sent him a link to my file. Seems that the telegram's cache was invalidated, and this worked.

As documentation stands https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#sending-files

Sending by URL
In sendDocument, sending by URL will currently only work for gif, pdf and zip files.
Other configurations may work but we can't guarantee that they will.
