Description of problem:
Some entities has optional array parameters that allow nil value. Previously it was possible to send empty list '[]' as value to clear all values, but now according to dLobatog it is not possible because of a new security mechanism in Rails.
Though it affects all the optional parameters, some example entities/parameters are: smart_proxies.locations, location.smart_proxies, organization.smart_proxies, organization.hostgroup_ids.
# Update with empty list
> Making HTTP PUT request to https://sat6.com/katello/api/v2/organizations/39 with options {'verify': False, 'auth': ('admin', 'changeme'), 'headers': {'content-type': 'application/json'}} and data {"organization": {"smart_proxy_ids": []}}.
