Sending URL in message results in Node timeout

[open-sudo]

The code is:

whatsapp.sendMessage(jid,"wa.me")

or

whatsapp.sendMessage(jid,"google.com")

This call will hang for a few minutes and then terminate with RequestException: Node timed out. I initially thought that all valid URLs will cause this timeout, but I observed that following call works fine:

whatsapp.sendMessage(jid,"foolish.com")

What I also observed is that in the timeout exception, there is a content field with an array of integers. This array is hundreds if not thousands of integers, which is odd given the simple 5 letter string i am sending.

The length is normal, it’s just computing the jpeg thumbnail for the url. To fix the bug for now you can set the text preview setting to disabled, but I’ll have it fixed In the release after I finish working on leap

Thanks. That works beautifully.

 Whatsapp.webBuilder().lastConnection().textPreviewSetting(TextPreviewSetting.DISABLED)
