Telegram sends lots of duplicates

I know this is a duplicate of Telegram sends duplicate POST JSON requests to webhook and Telegram sends duplicate POST JSON requests to webhook. However, there wasn't any adequate answer to this question, so:

I have a PHP app handling webhook requests from Telegram. However, Telegram fails to read that webhook worked successfully (although hurl.it shows clearly it sends 200 back on such a request).

Therefore, I have my bot reply a message loads of times because Telegram just won't get that the message is handled yet.

The problem is also described here (the lib I'm using):

https://github.com/irazasyed/telegram-bot-sdk/issues/23

However, no definite answer there either...

How can I fix it?

1) My bot is using a webhook 2) It definitely returns 200 OK response 3) User receives replies from the bot UPDATE 4) It's not a timeout.

My getWebhookInfo response:

[decodedBody:protected] => Array
    (
        [ok] => 1
        [result] => Array
            (
                [url] => https://bots.chatforge.me/t/test
                [has_custom_certificate] => 
                [pending_update_count] => 3
                [last_error_date] => 1514900657
                [last_error_message] => Unsupported Media Type: unsupported content-encoding
                [max_connections] => 40
            )

    )

If Telegram received HTTP 200 in a timely manner it won't repeat the request. My guess is your request/response is timing out. Use getwebhookinfo to see what was your last request error and update question if it's not a time out.

Seems problem is something about Content-encoding header. I suggest posting some fake data to you bot and see what Content-encoding header you receive. Use the curl I found in https://core.telegram.org/bots/webhooks or use Postman like programs.

curl -v -k -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache"  -d '{
"update_id":10000,
"message":{
  "date":1441645532,
  "chat":{
     "last_name":"Test Lastname",
     "id":1111111,
     "type": "private",
     "first_name":"Test Firstname",
     "username":"Testusername"
  },
  "message_id":1365,
  "from":{
     "last_name":"Test Lastname",
     "id":1111111,
     "first_name":"Test Firstname",
     "username":"Testusername"
  },
  "text":"/start"
}
}' "https://YOUR.BOT.URL:YOURPORT/"
