[Web API] Bug: 403 Response with empty body instead of Error Object

[Web API] Bug: 403 Response with empty body instead of Error Object

Observed behavior:

As expected, a GET request to the endpoint at  https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/top/artists

receives an HTTP 403 response when the Token in use does not have the necessary Scope (i.e., lacking 'user-top-read' scope)

However, the body of the HTTP response does not contain the expected JSON data -- an Error Object. In fact, the body of the response is empty.

As per the documentation at
https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/personalization/get-users-top-artists-...
I expected a JSON-formatted Error Object in the body of the HTTP response.

See Pastebin link for: CLI output from `curl -v` command demonstrating issue.
