NativeScript HTTP:getJSON doesn't work - telerik

Question

I have used the original helloworld app and just change the model from HelloWorldModel to MainModel.
Then i required "http" but when i run the app and klik the button for "updateAction" it only writes to the console and sets the message.
The HTTP request doesn't do anything.
Code: (main-view-model.js)
var __extends = this.__extends || function(d, b) {
for (var p in b)
if (b.hasOwnProperty(p)) d[p] = b[p];
function __() {
this.constructor = d;
}
__.prototype = b.prototype;
d.prototype = new __();
};
var observable = require("data/observable");
var http = require("http");
var MainModel = (function(_super) {
__extends(MainModel, _super);
function MainModel() {
_super.call(this);
console.log("MainModel called");
this.set("message", "Last updated" + " 2015-07-22 00:00:00");
this.set("message2", "Last updated" + " 2015-07-22 00:00:00");
}
MainModel.prototype.updateAction = function() {
console.log("updateAction");
this.set("message2", "Last updated" + " 2015-07-22 01:00:00");
http.getJSON("https://httpbin.org/get").then(function(r) {
this.set("message", "Last updated \n" + r);
console.log("SUCCESS");
console.log(r);
}, function(e) {
// Argument (e) is Error!
console.log("FAIL");
console.log(e);
this.set("message", "Last updated \n" + e);
});
};
return MainModel;
})(observable.Observable);
exports.MainModel = MainModel;
exports.mainViewModel = new MainModel();
What am I doing wrong?
Note: I'm testing on iPhone 6 emulator

It seems that using getString works and gives the same response.
Still wierd the getJSON doesn't work.
A working example is:
http.getString("https://httpbin.org/get").then(function (r) {
console.log("SUCCESS");
console.log(r);
}, function (e) {
console.log("FAIL");
console.log(e);
});
