Grabbing server response in promise chain

[msiebuhr]

I have a need for extracting the response body (for grabbing returned state), but this feel quite wrong to do:

expect(foo, 'to yield exchange', {...})
  .then(function (exchange) {
    var body = JSON.parse(exchange.httpExchange.response._rawBody.toString('utf-8'));
    ...
   })

There wouldn't be a better way of doing this somewhere?

Hey Morten, long time no see! Are you dropping by Copenhagen.js tomorrow?

Hmm, if it's an application/json response body, then httpExchange.response.body is supposed to contain the deserialized JSON:

const { httpExchange: { response: { body } } } =
  await expect(app, 'to yield exchange satisfying', { ... });

The httpExchange object is a messy.HttpExchange instance, but it's not terribly well documented, hah: https://github.com/papandreou/messy
