In doubt you can turn on the verbose() method on the HTTP

That's a modest improvement (for the small number of people
that find the option in the docs) but definitely not at the
same level of information as the curl CLI. I created an issue
requesting better output:

I see your intention but this is a bad example. Status 400 means
"Bad request" because of a wrong header or wrong payload or any
error in the request. "Empty content" wouldn't describe the
actual error if you have sent data.
In fact the client cannot know whats wrong. "Content-Type:
Application/json" may be wrong from the sight of the server
(which is NOT, they are case insensitive btw) but the protocol
allows you to use whatever content-type you want and no client
needs to know how to handle all. It's just wrong if your CLI tool
interprets a status 400 as "Empty content" by arbitrary
assumptions.
All better the lib could do is to print the text for the status
too and the raw payload sent by the server aka error description,
if any.
