http res.on('end') not working

Hello,
I have a pico with an ESP8226 working and trying to move some code that I currently have from a node.js project but it seems that res.on('end') does not work in espruino.
In order to fix it, I have to change the event from 'end' to 'close'.

I also tried changing my nodejs app to use 'close' but It does not work there, I know it's an easy change but I was tying to have the code compatible with node.js and espruino.

Is there a way to add the event 'end' in the http response in espruino?

Code not working in espruino pico

	var contents = "";
        require('http').get("http://www.pur3.co.uk/hello.txt", function(res) {
            res.on('data', function(data) {
                contents += data;
            });
            res.on('end', function() {
                console.log(contents);
            });
        });

thx
