The action did not produce a valid response and exited unexpectedly - ibm-cloud-functions

Question

I want to call a Node-RED flow from IBM Cloud Functions.
const https = require('https');
function main(params) {
const path = "/" + params.route + "?" + params.query_params ;
const options = {
hostname: params.hostname,
path: path,
port: 443,
method: 'GET'
};
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
https.get(options, (resp) => {
resp.on('data', (d) => {
let s = d.toString();
obj = JSON.parse(s);
resolve({ "gw_result": obj })
});
});
})
}
In the Node-RED flow I'm using a HTTP request to get data from another server. For test purposes I used a GET request to google.com but have same results using another Node-RED endpoint.
As soon as I invoke the web action I get the error message "The action did not produce a valid response and exited unexpectedly". The output of the Node-RED flow appears some seconds later in the web action's log although the Node-RED flow works properly and promptly (I used debug Node-RED debug nodes to check this).
The https GET request to Node-RED works well when I replace the http request in Node-RED by something else, e.g. a Function node, even when I use a Delay node to delay the response for a second or so.

This code works, although google.com does not return an object, of course.
var rp = require('request-promise');
function main(params) {
var uri = params.hostname + params.route + params.query_params
return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
rp(uri)
.then(function (parsedBody) {
obj = JSON.parse(parsedBody);
resolve({ "gw_result": obj
});
})
.catch(function (err) {
resolve({ message: 'failed!!', error: err.toString() });
});
});
}
