> I'm unable to import a Variables file. Looking at the code it appears to support JSON.
> I've tried uploading an empty file, a file containing "{}" and several simple variations of files created by downloading a set of variables. I always get the same error: "Missing file or syntax error"
> I took out the `except Exception` in the request handler and got: {{json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)}}
