code from HEAD

There are many occurrences when sending requests, receiving responses, etc, that we include extraneous information in our JSON packets.

For example, the scripts request:

{"arguments":{},"command":"scripts","seq":28,"type":"request"}

We are including the "arguments":{} text for no reason. There are many other examples where we include text for no arguments and text for no body.

We should put our JSON on a diet an not include empty entries in the packet(s).

another example, the connect response:

{
  "command":"connect",
  "type":"response", 
  "request_seq":27,
  "seq":37,
  "running":true,
  "success":true,
  "body":{}
}

includes the body element for no reason.
