Urequests can't parse response data

I'm trying to talk to my nanoleaf over my ESP8266 board. I'm using micropython and the urequests library I installed using upip.install('urequests').

urequests.get works and I can parse the response from something like: https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1

However when I try to parse the response from my nanoleaf with reponse.text the call just stops. I'm testing it over the UART REPL and it just does nothing until I ctrl+c then get a keyboard interrupt:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "urequests.py", line 57, in text
  File "urequests.py", line 49, in content
KeyboardInterrupt:

Using normal python on my x86 and requests with the same line works.

I'm using:

response = urequests.get(url)
response.text

Curl returns this from the nanoleaf:

{"on":{"value":true},"brightness":{"value":76,"max":100,"min":0},"hue":{"value":28,"max":360,"min":0},"sat":{"value":66,"max":100,"min":0},"ct":{"value":2700,"max":6500,"min":1200},"colorMode":"effect"}

Is that a memory issue? I'm not even trying to get the json, just the text result.

Inizia con urequests.py nei punti di ingresso content e text citati nel traceback, quindi riproduci response.text usando la risposta di Nanoleaf e la risposta funzionante di JSONPlaceholder. Determina perché la lettura della risposta di Nanoleaf non ritorna; il problema è risolto quando la risposta può essere letta correttamente senza un’interruzione da tastiera.
