Maybe this is related.
There is a problem when we use sendDocument or sendPhoto methods.
Yesterday, it was working perfectly well but somehow today these broke for me.
bot.sendPhoto(chat_id=chat_id, photo=image) where image is the link to some image.

The bot is a giphy bot. Which fetches gif from giphy.

Code:

if '/giphy' in message:
                    search_term = message.replace('/giphy','')
                    img = translate(search_term) #from giphypop import translate
                    print img.fixed_height.downsampled.url #shows correct URL. Mentioned below
                    bot.sendMessage(chat_id=chat_id,text='Hang in there. Fetching gif..-Powered by GIPHY!') #This goes alright
                    bot.sendDocument(chat_id=chat_id, document=img.fixed_height.downsampled.url.encode('utf-8')) #Crashes here.

The file for which I got the below mentioned error : http://media1.giphy.com/media/Rt3xpiV6KfibC/200_d.gif

Note that I also tried bot.sendPhoto(chat_id=chat_id, photo=img.fixed_height.downsampled.url.encode('utf-8')) & it still crashes.

Even tried a normal png & jpeg file, still the same error on
bot.sendPhoto(chat_id=chat_id, photo=image)

bot.sendPhoto(chat_id=chat_id, photo=img.fixed_height.downsampled.url.encode('utf-8'))
bot.sendDocument(chat_id=chat_id, document=img.fixed_height.downsampled.url.encode('utf-8'))

produce following. Also removed encode('utf-8') & still the same error.

Please help. It's breaking most of bot features.
