Where the hell did irm-iex-ing come from? As in "irm <url> | iex" Invoke-RestMethod in PowerShell has ALWAYS been a way to get objects out a website that exposes content as JSON, XML, etc. Invoke-WebRequest is the one that gives you raw text back. The fact that tools using irm-iex work at all is just a magic accident that converting an object (that's a string) into a string doesn't introduce any artifacts.
