Description David Davis 2015-01-06 18:55:08 UTC
When I run the following against our Katello API:

❯ curl -k -u admin:changeme localhost:3000/katello/api/v2/organizations/3/systems/a0ce0ce7-7935-4298-9557-9e6abbe67224 -XPUT -d'{"content_view_id": "19", "type": "system"}'

{"displayMessage":"Missing values for system.","errors":["param is missing or the value is empty: system"]}

However I'd expect a 415 since curl by default uses x-www-form-urlencoded or whatever for PUT requests. Here's a foreman example:

❯ curl -k -u admin:changeme -XPUT localhost:9292/api/v2/operatingsystems/1 -d'{"name": "test"}'

{
  "error": {"message":"'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' is unsupported in API v2 for POST and PUT requests. Please use 'Content-Type: application/json'."}
}

I think this is because our Katello API controllers aren't extending foreman's Api::V2::BaseController.
