Need to force string when constructing error classes

[carsonreinke]

What?

Some responses incorrectly throw error messages because there is a type mismatch on the arguments to the error constructors. Basically, json_decode on the response body is not guaranteed to return a string. We need to enforce the string.

Writing test cases involved a lot of work unless a curl abstraction was built/used. Even mocking is extremely difficult here.
