Telegram Bot - HTTP Client issue

Hi guys,

i try to send a messages from the ESP8266-01 by using the espruino firmware.

>process.env
={
  VERSION: "2v03",
  GIT_COMMIT: "e77d74f6",
  BOARD: "ESP8266_BOARD",
  FLASH: 0, RAM: 81920,
  SERIAL: "807d3a69-78f3",
  CONSOLE: "Telnet",
  MODULES: "Flash,Storage,hea" ... "r,crypto,neopixel",
  EXPTR: 1073643636 }

The wifi connection is established successfully.

 	var request = http.get(encodeURIComponent("http://api.­telegram.org/bot{REPLACED_WITH_TOKEN}/se­ndMessage?chat_id={REPLACE_WITH_MY_ID}&t­ext=HI"), function(res) {
		res.on('data', function(data) {
			console.log("RESPONSE:", data);
		});
      res.on('close', function() { 
        console.log(res);
      });
	});
  console.log(request);
  request.on('error', (err) => {
  console.log(err);
});

Response of the error case:

{ "code": -6,
  "message": "not found"
 }

After that I try to send a message via GET or POST to the telegram bot.
Unfortunately I always get error messages. I am not sure if the requests arrive at telegram at all.
Can someone give me a hint?

I have already found a module in the internet. But that also do not work.

Edit: If I just open the url in the browser the request will send and the telegram bot has the message.
