What is the issue?

While testing ollama in combination with k8sgpt I ran into an issue with ollama queries responding with:

invalid character 'p' after top-level value

After some hunting I found that the documentation for k8sgpt incorrectly adds a suffix to the ollama baseurl (http://localhost:11434/v1). Ollama API was responding with a plaintext HTTP body of 404 Not Found but I was unablwe to see this in the error message without debugging the ollama go client here:

https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/api/client.go#L166-L189

Ideally we are able to view both the API response and errorResponse (unmarshal error) to aid in quick debugging. I mocked up a rough diff illustrating what I am talking about:

https://github.com/ollama/ollama/compare/main...dcarrier:ollama:unmarshal-fix?expand=1#diff-aa9bfd1a638fbb706f8e8920297902937011160319d9679add5dca56e5ab8277

That code results in this error message:

404 Not Found: invalid character 'p' after top-level value

We can also manipulate Error() method of StatusError to clean up the formatting but I am hoping this is enough to get the idea across. Another option is to change the NoRoute handler to respond with a json payload with an Error field. However that feels like a riskier change than the aforementioned.

If this is acceptable I am happy to work on this and open a PR.

Thanks for considering!
