`cloud.ApiRequest.body` is an empty string for GET requests

[eladcon]

I tried this:

bring cloud;
bring http;

let api = new cloud.Api();
api.get("/", inflight (r) => {
  if let body = r.body {
    return {
      status: 500
    };
  } else {
    return {
      status: 200
    };
  }
});

test "" {
  let res = http.get(api.url);
  assert(res.status == 200);
}

This happened:

assertion failed: res.status == 200

I expected this:

It seems that AWS is treating both empty strings body and no body as the same - null body. Do we want to match this behavior? I'm not sure what's happening in other cloud providers.
