Yes, there should be no payload, hence no Content-Type header for DELETE. Some
clients ignore Content-Type if they construct DELETE requests, which is
apparently not curl case.

I've updated the JIRA with more details. The endpoint I'm speaking about
is /rest/applications/${pushAppId}, but most of @DELETE endpoints are affected
by requiring content type or content type and payload.
