The "problem" is that right now the endpoint 'just' requires the content-type to be application/json. However all the endpoints are NOT reading any payload.

Here I do get a 415, due to the missing content-type

curl -3 -v -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -v -H "Accept: application/json" -X DELETE https://https-pushee.rhcloud.com/rest/applications/somePushAppID

However, this works fine (see: no payload submitted):

curl -3 -v -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -v -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-type: application/json" -X DELETE https://https-pushee.rhcloud.com/rest/applications/somePushAppID
