Comment (by boonebgorges):

 I just ran into this as well, in my case with a GET request.

 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. This seems like it would jibe better
 with RFC 2616, which says that servers should ignore the body for these
 request types. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-4.3
