It is hard for me to understand how much of the problem is caused by my ignorance, and how much can be ascribed to low usability of the library, for an use case which is probably not very common. Thus i thought of opening this issue in order to discuss with someone more knowledgeable!\r\n\r\nSolving that problem would lead me to try to write a kind of `show` function for the body, but that answer states that it is not possible or not advisable. Am i expecting something unreasonable, or could the library be improved?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/snoyberg/http-client/issues/comments/210368981","html_url":"https://github.com/snoyberg/http-client/issues/184#issuecomment-210368981","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/snoyberg/http-client/issues/184","id":210368981,"user":{"login":"snoyberg","id":49415,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/49415?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/snoyberg","html_url":"https://github.com/snoyberg","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/snoyberg/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/snoyberg/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/snoyberg/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/snoyberg/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/snoyberg/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/snoyberg/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/snoyberg/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/snoyberg/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/snoyberg/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-04-15T08:52:35Z","updated_at":"2016-04-15T08:52:35Z","body":"I don't think there's anything else to be done here, closing."}}
