Hello, I use httprb gem to get an image then parse the response[1]:

response.parse

But this raises an error.

HTTP::Error: Unknown MIME type: image/jpeg

Is this a bug?

No. The #parse method is for parsing text formats, such as JSON. There is no built-in parser in the library for JPEGs (what would it even do?)

Thank you for your response and sorry for my ignorance.

I was hoping to use `response.parse` in a consistent fashion to know if the response is success or not.
