That's not quite what I want to do. Given that a request is a struct type,
I want to copy or assign an existing struct to the whole request.
I can use the json decoder to write content into the request struct, but I
don't see a way to do that when I'm holding an orphan pointer to a struct
that is of the same type as the request.
