format=concise is sent as a request body, so it never takes effect - #2

The "Read a Data Entity (concise)" request uses
curl -L -X GET ... -d 'format=concise'
Without `-G`, curl puts `-d` data in the request BODY. `-X GET` overrides the
method, so what goes out is a GET with an empty query string and `format=concise`
in a body that the broker does not read. The response is therefore normalized,
while the block below it shows concise.
Visible in a captured run of this page against a broker: the same entity, the
same nominal parameter, `-L` returned normalized and `-G` returned concise.
The rest of the page already uses `curl -G -X GET` for parameterised GETs; this
one request was missed.
