/**
   * Returns the text (content) from a REST URL as a String.
   * Inspired by http://matthewkwong.blogspot.com/2009/09/scala-scalaiosource-fromurl-blockshangs.html
   * and http://alvinalexander.com/blog/post/java/how-open-url-read-contents-httpurl-connection-java
   *
   * The `connectTimeout` and `readTimeout` comes from the Java URLConnection
   * class Javadoc.
   * @param url The full URL to connect to.
   * @param connectTimeout Sets a specified timeout value, in milliseconds,
   *                       to be used when opening a communications link to the resource referenced
   *                       by this URLConnection. If the timeout expires before the connection can
   *                       be established, a java.net.SocketTimeoutException
   *                       is raised. A timeout of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout.
   *                       Defaults to 5000 ms.
   * @param readTimeout If the timeout expires before there is data available
   *                    for read, a java.net.SocketTimeoutException is raised. A timeout of zero
   *                    is interpreted as an infinite timeout. Defaults to 5000 ms.
   * @param requestMethod Defaults to "GET". (Other methods have not been tested.)
   *
   * @example get("http://www.example.com/getInfo")
   * @example get("http://www.example.com/getInfo", 5000)
   * @example get("http://www.example.com/getInfo", 5000, 5000)
