[arin-tech-discuss] Problems creating recipient org?

Fri May 31 21:49:29 EDT 2013

That seems like reasonable behavior to me.

If you give it the wrong content-type header, it should respond with some form of error. Not sure 404 is exactly right, but it seems reasonable enough. 

Otherwise, you're expecting the software to play "guess the format" for submissions and that tends to make the software unnecessarily complex and usually leads to "interesting" bugs down the road.
