Description sthirugn@redhat.com 2014-08-13 15:34:57 UTC
Description of problem:
Satellite6 API currently supports only json input content-type.  So it should throw '415 Unsupported Media Type' error for non-json requests

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Example:
Attempt to create an organization with content-types:
- application/json (passed)
- application/xml (failed) 
- text/plain (failed)
(see below for details)

1. Content-Type: application/json - Success! PASS
curl -X POST -H "Accept:application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -u admin:changeme --insecure -d '{"name":"testorgapi"}' https://host/katello/api/v2/organizations
Success!

2. Content-Type: application/xml - Failed
# curl -X POST -H "Accept:application/xml" -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -u admin:changeme --insecure -d '<name>testorgapi</name>' https://host/katello/api/v2/organizations
{
  "error": {"id":null,"errors":{"name":["can't be blank","can't be blank","cannot be blank"],"title":["can't be blank"],"label":["can't be blank","can't be blank","can't be blank"]},"full_messages":["Name can't be blank","Name can't be blank","Name cannot be blank","Title can't be blank","Label can't be blank","Label can't be blank","Label can't be blank"]}

3. Content-Type: text/plain - Failed
#curl -X POST -H "Accept:application/xml" -H "Content-Type: text/plain" -u admin:changeme --insecure -d 'name=testorgapi' https://host/katello/api/v2/organizations
{
  "error": {"id":null,"errors":{"name":["can't be blank","can't be blank","cannot be blank"],"title":["can't be blank"],"label":["can't be blank","can't be blank","can't be blank"]},"full_messages":["Name can't be blank","Name can't be blank","Name cannot be blank","Title can't be blank","Label can't be blank","Label can't be blank","Label can't be blank"]}

Actual results:
Satellite 6 API does not validate the content-type and assumes everything as json input so the error message is weird as I have shown above

Expected results:
Satellite 6 API should valid content-type and throw "415 - Unsupported Media Type" error if the input content-type is not json.
