First, the /body endpoint calls CanonicalizeDatasetRef, which returns a 500 repo: not found error. This error is being written to the ResponseWriter. It then proceeds to call LookUpBody which gets the peer's dataset body and returns it.

This response cannot be parsed correctly by the frontend.

@dustmop I can close this bug with a work around for now, but it doesn't get to heart of this issue.

You mentioned that qri body will be subsumed into qri get, is that still the plan?

What do we think about a world where we pass lib.LookupBody a datasetRef, rather than just a path and handle all the canonicalizing/handling local vs peer down there.

Ah, sorry, just saw the comment here. My recommendation for the better (and still easy) fix is in the PR. Even if body will soon get merged, the api will still probably have some specific code so this should be fixed.
