我得到错误期望值:第1行第1列(字符0)时试图解码JSON。

我用于API调用的URL在浏览器中工作正常，但在通过curl请求完成时给出了这个错误。下面是我用于curl请求的代码。

错误发生在返回simplejson.loads(response_json)时

response_json = self.web_fetch(url)
response_json = response_json.decode('utf-8')
return json.loads(response_json)


def web_fetch(self, url):
    buffer = StringIO()
    curl = pycurl.Curl()
    curl.setopt(curl.URL, url)
    curl.setopt(curl.TIMEOUT, self.timeout)
    curl.setopt(curl.WRITEFUNCTION, buffer.write)
    curl.perform()
    curl.close()
    response = buffer.getvalue().strip()
    return response
