begin
  response_bpdy_io = IOBuffer()

  response = request(
    "https://httpbin.org/ip",
    method="GET",
    headers=Dict("accept" => "application/json"),
    verbose=true,
    output=response_bpdy_io,
  )

  @show response.status
  @show response.message

  @show readchomp(response_bpdy_io)
end

output:

response.status = 200
response.message = "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"
readchomp(response_bpdy_io) = ""

The position of the buffer will be at the end so you are just reading the empty string. You can seekstart to the beginning before reading:
readchomp(seekstart(response_body_io)).
