Comment (by jnylen0):

 > I defer to the API team on this, but I wonder if a narrower fix might be
 to skip body parsing (or allow empty body) for methods that don't
 specifically support a message-body.

 I'm not opposed to it, but @boonebgorges let's do that in a separate
 ticket.

 The issue being discussed here was introduced in 4.7; the change you're
 proposing would date back to 4.4.
