Closes #388
Previously the HTTP request would unexpectedly always contain a body for all requests. Certain HTTP server implementations are sensitive to this data existing if it is not expected. Requests now only contain a request body if the
request_body
attribute is explicitly set. To exactly preserve the previous behavior, setrequest_body = ""
.Added new acceptance testing for
request_body
handling. Go net/http server implementations seem to ignore this problematic situation (or it was not easy to determine), so also verified with a real world configuration using a temporary acceptance test as well as manually running Terraform using a development build containing these changes:This real world acceptance test is not added as the server may change its implementation in the future.
