I tested it on a customer's PC. He's in Singapore. WebRequest returns 1001.

At the same time through cURL requests pass without problems. Here are his comments: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/341742

In general, I suggest not to panic and just wait until the developers are free and fix it.

Can you provide the exact request? Let all numbers and letters in the bot's API-key be replaced by XXX, but let everything else be exactly as in the request.

Okay, Rashid. As soon as the customer gets in touch, I will provide you with all the details.

Judging by your profile, you are in Russia. Telegram is blocked in Russia... A working app on your phone is not an indicator - they have their own ways around it.

I'm in Kiev right now.

Andrew, as far as I understand it is a build problem in both MT4 and MT5...
Because if it was in your library, you would have already fixed it....

Yes, periodically I get messages from the MQL community that WebRequest returns 1001. This has escalated recently, but it is not reproducible for everyone.

For example on the PC of a customer from Singapore this problem was a couple of days ago. I will try to go to his place and take screenshots for Rashid.

Youdon't need a screenshot - you need code that you can paste withcopypaste and check under otldaca

and one more thing, Andrei...
when compiling my test Expert Advisor in MT5,
is swearing at the Telegram module...
Can you see why?

These lines in your module

   string StringDecode(string text)
     {
      //--- replace \n
      StringReplace(text,"\n",ShortToString(0x0A));

the lowest line and these

   void UserNameFilter(const string username_list)
     {
      m_users_filter.Clear();

      //--- parsing
      string text=StringTrim(username_list);
      if(text=="")
         return;

      //---
      while(StringReplace(text,"  "," ")>0);
      StringReplace(text,";"," ");
      StringReplace(text,","," ");

the last three...

@Gennady Mazur treated like this :: StringReplace(...);
