What about a read_json? Should the underlying request set Accept types
accordingly (read_json demands text/json or application/json, read_text
demands text/plain? what if I want HTML? Need another method for that?)

What if content-transfer-encoding isn't set, or the data contains bytes
that aren't valid for it?
