Research direction

Start by reproducing the imgflip API call described in the issue and inspect the returned response and response.body.size(). Compare the request and response handling with the library's documented behavior; done means identifying why the body is empty and verifying a populated response or documenting an external API cause.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hello,

I am making a call to the imgflip API but when I make that call, although there are no errors, the response is empty. Trying to print the response yields nothing and printing the response.body.size() outputs a value of zero.
