OK.  As I said, my problem is (probably) silly.  Now the question is:
how do I do anything reasonable with what I got?  In my particular case
I expect json, so I'd like to use e.g. json.el to convert it to s-exps.
How do I do that?  I tried

(request "http://httpbin.org/get"; :parser #'json-read),

expecting a sexp, but I still got a structure very much like
previously.
