def body
  read_body()
end

Returns the string response body; note that repeated calls for the unmodified body return a cached string:

Example

path = '/todos/1'
Net::HTTP.start(hostname) do |http|
  res = http.get(path)
  p res.body
  p http.head(path).body # No body.
end

Output:

Example

"{\n  \"userId\": 1,\n  \"id\": 1,\n  \"title\": \"delectus aut autem\",\n  \"completed\": false\n}"
nil
