the following works for me in all situations

const jimp = require('jimp');

jimp
  .read("https://images.pexels.com/photos/296282/pexels-photo-296282.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&h=350")
  .then(image => image.getBuffer(jimp.AUTO, (err, res) => console.log(res)));

just tested in all and i got no errors. can you provide the full code?

Problem solved! I was using the Current version of Node (10.8.0) instead of the LTS (8.11.3). Thanks everyone.
