This is not a bug, but a small improvement.
On some special cases a remote API can return not only JSON but a plain strings, e.g. ipinfo.io can returns a large JSON object as well as a value of field of that object. We cannot set different decoders for different methods. I propose to allow the decoder returns a raw string according to the type that a method returns.
