http_request returns empty string for JSON data

[JustGuessing123]

I call the following function with a string (input webCall) that requests earnings data for a particular stock. I can send a request that asks for the 4 prior reports and that works correctly. When I increase the request to want 5 or more prior reports the data that is returned in an empty string and the status code is ok (200). I have done the same request using a command line CURL command and it works so I know that the server I am requesting the data from is capable of returning whatever length of data I am requesting. Therefore, I am assuming I have not configured something correctly and the return value is getting rejected for some type of size limitation issue. I am very to new to using the the cpprestsdk so I am thinking my lack of knowledge on how to configure things is the issue, but I don't know what to do! FYI, I have not included the exact https request since it has an api_key code that I had to pay for. The code is as follows:

// Creates an HTTP request and prints the length of the response stream. pplx::task HTTPStreamingAsync(std::string& returnString, int& returnCode, std::string webCall) { returnString = "";

const size_t newSize = 1000;
wchar_t wcstring[newSize];
size_t convertedChars = 0;
mbstowcs_s(&convertedChars, wcstring, newSize, webCall.c_str(), _TRUNCATE);
// Declare webservice to consume json data from it
http_client client(wcstring);

//Set parameters for request
http_request req(methods::GET);
req.headers().set_content_type(L"application/json");
//req.headers().set_content_type(L"application/json; charset=UTF-8");

// Make the request and asynchronously process the response. 
return client.request(req).then([&returnString, &returnCode](http_response response)
    {
        // Print the status code.
        returnCode = response.status_code();
        if (response.status_code() != status_codes::OK)
        {
            returnString = "";
            return pplx::task_from_result();
        }

        // process the response.
        istream bodyStream = response.body();
        unsigned int responseLength = (unsigned int)response.headers().content_length();

        std::cout << "response.status_code()=" << response.status_code() << "\n";
        std::cout << "responseLength=" << responseLength << "\n";

        container_buffer<std::string> inStringBuffer;
        return bodyStream.read(inStringBuffer, responseLength).then([inStringBuffer, &returnString](size_t bytesRead)
            {
                const std::string& text = inStringBuffer.collection();
                //std::cout << text + "\n";
                returnString = text;
            });
    });

}

Also, just to know, the request is for JSON data and I just want to get the raw string and I will parse it using a JSON parser that I have already built.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
