Hmm, couldn't error responses still have JSON bodies? For example, the GitHub API has error responses that look like:

```
HTTP/1.1 422 Unprocessable Entity
 Content-Length: 149

 {
   "message": "Validation Failed",
   "errors": [
     {
       "resource": "Issue",
       "field": "title",
       "code": "missing_field"
     }
   ]
 }
```
