[Kimchi-devel] [PATCH 1/2] Return empty dict when request body is empty

[Crístian Viana]

If Kimchi receives a POST or PUT command with an empty body, a 400 error
is returned because the server cannot parse the [empty] body.

Add an additional check on the server so the request body is only parsed
if it has content; otherwise, an empty dict will be returned.
