@quinnj, could you tag a release for HTTP? I am having issues with `take!` on Julia 0.6 that seem to be resolved in the master branch for HTTP.jl.

That’s weird because the latest tag included the fix for `take!`. I had mistakenly made the usage `take!(String, response)` and @tkelman helped change it to the more idiomatic `String(take!(response))`.

My bad; I was accidentally using the old `take!(String, response)`. The `String(take!(response))` is indeed working as expected.
