View compaction fails from Futon with recent builds

[Matt Goodall <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Just noticed that starting a view compaction with Futon is failing
with a "415 Unsupported Media Type" error. The response body is
{"error":"bad_content_type","reason":"Content-Type must be
application/json"}.

I'm seeing this on 0.11.x and the 1.0.x branches. The check in
handle_compact_req/2 looks redundant to me, as the request's body is
not actually used.

/me shakes fist at the world.

There are good reasons to have the content-type requirement (I will get into them in the near future).

And I was fairly certain that I modified the client library codes to use the proper content-type, but I guess this one slipped through.

Now I'm suddenly feeling the urge to have an integration test suite for Futon.

Thanks for pointing this out.
