could not parse response body

Error message

could not parse response body: %v

What it means

Raised in UploadFileToNHPServer after a 200 response was received and the body read succeeded: json.Unmarshal of the body into ServerResponse failed. It means the NHP server did not return the expected JSON envelope for the upload endpoint — the payload is truncated, HTML (e.g. a proxy error page), or a differently shaped JSON object.

Solutions

1. Capture and log the raw bodyBytes alongside the unmarshal error to see what the server actually returned
2. Verify the upload endpoint path and API version expected by this client match the deployed nhp-server
3. Check whether an intermediate proxy or gateway rewrote the response (HTML error page instead of JSON)
4. Confirm ServerResponse struct fields/tags match the server's response schema
