JSONDecodeError upon empty response body

[ariel-m-s]

A JSONDecodeError (from the built-in json library) is raised for HTTP responses with an empty body (which is, naturally, not a JSON). I don’t think this is the expected behavior.

json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

I guess the expected behavior should be to return an empty string.

Yes, that is definitely not the expected behavior. I think that maybe if the request body doesn't exist (and the text property is empty), Zum should show the response code of the request. Or maybe showing nothing is the right behavior. In any case, the CLI shouldn't fail on no body.

Would it be better to add a condition (if response.text) o just try to parse is as JSON and catch the exception?

I think that a combination may be the correct way to handle it. Some response.text might not be JSON-valid but still contain text. In that case, the text should be shown.
